Hi, I’m Courtney.

The seeds of The Lucky Dot were planted over 20 years ago around my grandparents kitchen table. For me, Mah Jongg has always been more than just a game — it’s a reason to gather and a way to connect. The Lucky Dot is inspired by this tradition and rooted in love.

About The Lucky Dot Mah Jongg Co.

  • Scattered Mahjong tiles around a silver tray on a colored cloth, with some tiles on a wooden surface.

    My Story

    I learned American Mah Jongg as a child around my grandparents’ kitchen table. My Granny, Dot, taught me the game more than 20 years ago, and it has been a source of connection, tradition, and joy in my life ever since.

    As I grew older, I came to understand what makes Mah Jongg so special. It is strategic and challenging, yes — but more than that, it gives people a reason to gather. Around the table, strangers become friends, confidence grows, and community begins to take shape.

    The Lucky Dot was created in honor of that feeling.

    Inspired by tradition and rooted in love, The Lucky Dot offers American Mah Jongg classes, private lessons, social play, and curated events for players at every stage.

  • A woman with long brown hair, glasses, and a green dress sits in a chair smiling at a table with a colorful board game set up and instruction sheets. Behind her is a shelf with decorative items and a lamp with three round yellow bulbs.

    My Mission

    The Lucky Dot Mah Jongg Co. brings the joy of American Mah Jongg to Oklahoma through intentional classes, welcoming events, and thoughtfully curated treasures.

    Why The Lucky Dot?

    Dots are one of the three suits in Mah Jongg, and Dot is also the name of my Granny — the woman who first brought this game into my life.

    The name The Lucky Dot was chosen with intention. It honors her, the tradition she shared with me, and the joy I now get to share with others around the table.

    When you choose to learn and play with me, you’re choosing more than a Mah Jongg instructor with decades of experience. You’re choosing someone who truly values your presence at the table, celebrates each player’s growth, and believes this game is as much about connection as it is about the tiles. I’m deeply grateful for every person who sits down to learn, play, and share in the joy of Mah Jongg with me.

An older woman with glasses and a pink fuzzy hat with white hearts is standing beside her, leaning over and looking at the menu. The table has a colorful floral tablecloth and a wooden puzzle. In the background, there are green trees, a fence, and a clear blue sky.

    When I'm not teaching Mah Jongg...

    You can usually find me snuggling my pets while binge-ing a show, drinking a good cup of tea, reading, coloring or finding quiet ways to be creative. I love cozy spaces, meaningful conversation, and the kind of simple moments that make people feel at home.
