You know what they say- step on a crack, break your mother's back. Some people may not admit it, but everyone's a little bit superstitious.
Whether it's picking up a penny off the ground for good luck or throwing salt over your shoulder after you accidentally spilled some. Some superstitions are more well-known in certain states than others. So Paysbig.com did some digging to find what is the most popular superstition in each state.
To find each state's most common superstition, Paysbig.com searched through more than 200 good and bad luck terms on Google's AdWords platform. They also surveyed over 1,000 Americans about their beliefs in superstitions.
So, what is California's most common superstition?
Lucky pennies!
That superstition is apparently not too common, based on the study's results. Iowa was the only other state to have lucky pennies as their most common superstition.
Overall, the most common superstition was throwing salt over your left shoulder, which is believed to reverse bad luck brought on by spilling salt.
A total of 17 states had that as their most common superstition including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
