The number 8

Nothing special about the number 8, except it is the last ball to go into the slots when playing pool. There is nothing special about it, except some people consider it lucky. It's that ball that you're playing for when getting rid of your debt. That's what you're aiming for, the last ball into the slot. If you can't get the other balls, fine, but when you're down to a tie, and it's the universe versus yourself, you can plainly see, that the number 8 is a very important number, indeed.
