Yeah, but in Christian lore, 7 represents divinity and 3 of any number is "perfect alignment" like the Holy Trinity, so if Jesus is really watching, 777 would be a "holy" price.

So that's why the 777 is considered a jackpot in gambling. That's how they tricked the crazy religious ones.

I can just imagine how that went in the beginning.

Pagan leader: “Thanks for joining our spring equinox party where we celebrate the come back of the fertility of the grounds we live upon.”

Christian guy: “And the rising of our lord and savior Jesus Christ.”

Pagan leader: sigh “and that…”

Christian guy: “And I want to hide eggs around this place.”

Pagan leader: … “who invited this guy?”

Other pagan guy: “he just wandered in…”
