Two 8s for following reasons based on chinese believing 8 is a good number...
The word for "eight" (? Pinyin: ba) sounds similar to the word which means "prosper" or "wealth" (? – short for "??", Pinyin: fa). In regional dialects the words for "eight" and "fortune" are also similar, e.g. Cantonese "baat3" and "faat3".
There is also a visual resemblance between two digits, "88", and ?, the "shuang xi" ("double joy"), a popular decorative design composed of two stylized characters ? ("xi" meaning "joy" or "happiness").
The number 8 is viewed as such an auspicious number that even being assigned a number with several eights is considered very lucky.
