    The superstition is as follows: "If the palm of your right hand is itchy, then it fortells that money is coming to you, but don't scratch it as that stops the money from coming! If it's your left palm that is itchy, then scratch away, as that means that you'll soon be paying money."

    I think it's a cute and quaint little story.

    I think that itchy palms means your palms itch.

    Absolutely! my wife is the lucky one. after work, if my wife has an overnite bag packed and waiting at the front door, i know that it has been a lucky day for her and that the palm of her hand has been itching. this is a positive sign of money coming our way. since 1984, my wife's palms have been the barometer of luck in our family. 99% of the time, her itchy palms have brought money our way.

    p.s......i think i will stay married to her for a while longer.

    My grandmother always told us if your left hand is itchy, it meant money & to rub it on wood. Or if she was being funny, rub it on your behind! If your right hand was itchy, it meant you would meet someone new

    Maybe its just shingles or a case of dermatitis coming on? ;) jk

    Yeah, I've heard that, but doubt its true. Money comes your way, in the form of a paycheck through a job...no itchy palm needed.

    I've been told that if your left hand itches (if your a right handed person) then you got money coming in. If your right hand itches, then your going to lose money

    It is so interesting to see how superstitions also travel. I am from Morocco, a country that does not share much history with the US, but we too have such superstitions, especially among ladies. Well, it is always fun to see how cultures build believes and habits. But an itchy palm is just an itchy palm as many of you already said.

    On November 16, 2008 the corner of my left palm was burning itching. On November 17, 2008 I called my mother to let her know I was returning her tea set, and I asked her the meaning of the left palm itching. She said, "I will call you when UPS arrives." I didn't understand so I ask her to whom was she speaking. She said, "Your Aunt Nanna from Santa Maria, California. She sent all the children of my mother $100.00 cash. This morning my right hand was burning itching like crazy.

    I was raised on the notion that if your left palm itches, you are going to come into money. If your RIGHT palm itches, somebody is either talking about you, or thinking about you...........

    Well, I don't know about anyone else, but tonight my left palm was itching, and all of a sudden the IRS put the money in the checking account. Although it was expected, it just happened after my palm wouldn't stop itching. Hmmm.

    Mine itches before every payday. It never fails. It didn't itch when I was out of work for four months. The only time, during that time, it itched was when I got my tax return. Strange.

    I was always told that if one palm itches, then money is coming to you but if both palms itche, then money will come to you but you will give it out. Like the old saying "in one hand and out the other".

    I consider this phenomena a blessing. My personal experience has been when my left hand is itching, money, victory, or other success is coming my way, while an itchy right hand means the opposite. Over time, I've learned to become very attentive these signs, much to my benefit.

    I had an itchy palm 5 years ago, no rash or bug bite or anything, just itchy. A short while later I found out I was pregnant. I purchased a baby book and was reading the symptoms of pregnancy and wouldnt you know it, one of the symptoms was itchy palms!!!

    My left palm started itching a few days ago. Thought about the notion that itchy palms mean money coming down the pike.
    So, I called my financial planner and he confirmed that an investment I made 5 years ago is in contract to sell and that in just 9 days I will be receiving a check for about $400,000.00.
    Uncanny!

    I have the same itchy palm issue. Every time the middle of my right palm itch, I would get some sort of money the day after. I hardly ever get an itch from my left hand, even though I have monthly bills to pay! Hmmmmmmm…….

    I do believe this might be a strange way of God telling certain individuals, not to worry about money problems & all is well. Therfore, be thankful for that! I'm still waiting for the million dollar itch, whatever that is.....

    On the other hand, if you have sores, redness, or cracked skin on your hands, you may need lotion or check with a doctor for help, concerning any possible health problems.

    Good luck!

    Hello all readers. Could it be that the people that come onto money with the itchy left hand are in fact left handers? And visa versa for the right handers? Or maybe it could be because itchy hands are most often associated with a skin condition or rash. The most common of these being eczema.
    This itching could be due to an allergy to something you have come into contact with. Common allergy causing agents are household detergents or factors linked to your occupation.
    There are many other causes of skin inflammation and irritation. Low iron may have a bearing on the itch. It would be worthwhile getting a full blood count done by your GP to ensure that you haven't become anaemic recently.

    Possibly, at least for these two people (and there are others, i.e. Ric Wallace)

    "Hoffman couldn't quite describe that lucky feeling but said that in the past, an itchy palm nearly always meant money was coming his way. And come it did.

    $150,017.

    "It's a big thrill," he said."
