A lucky number is a natural number in a set which is generated by a "sieve" similar to the Sieve of Eratosthenes that generates the primes.
Lucky numbers share some properties with primes, such as asymptotic behaviour according to the prime number theorem; also Goldbach's conjecture has been extended to them.

  Lucky prime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A lucky prime is a number that is a prime number and a lucky number.
Twin lucky primes occur less often than twin primes in general, but in a similar proportion.
Twin primes are primes which are separated by two (example 5 and 7); these are only rare due to the methods by which lucky numbers are determined.

 lucky number
Also, the gaps between successive primes and the gaps between successive luckies widen at roughly the same rate as the numbers increase, and the number of twin primesprimes that differ by 2 – is close to the number of twin luckies.
The luckies even have their own equivalent of the famous (still unsolved) Goldbach Conjecture, which states that every even number greater than 2 is the sum of two primes.
In the case of luckies, it is conjectured that every even number is the sum of two luckies; no exception has yet been found.

Lucky numbers share some properties with primes, such as asymptotic behaviour according to the prime number theorem; also Goldbach's conjecture has been extended to them.
Because of these apparent connections with the prime numbers, some mathematicians have suggested that these properties may be found in a larger class of sets of numbers generated by sieves of a certain unknown form, although there is little theoretical basis for this conjecture.

The lucky number sieve is a modification of the prime number sieve.
The fundamental difference between prime and lucky numbers is that while the prime number sieve is based on divisibility properties, the lucky number sieve is based purely on a number’s position in a given sequence.
The densities of luckies and primes in large, closed intervals are very close, as are the numbers of twin primes and twin luckies (numbers differing only by 2).

A prime number is a number greater than one, a whole number whose only divisors—the only numbers that divide evenly into it—are itself and one.
So three is a prime but six is not because two and three both divide into six.
And whenever you have a pair of primes that differ by two, that's called a twin prime.

A prime number of that shape (i.e., one unit less than a power of 2) is known as a Mersenne prime.
The next two numbers in the list, the 13th and 14th Mersenne primes, are much larger (corresponding to n=521 and n=607) and were both discovered the same day (January 30, 1952, around 22:00 PST and shortly before midnight) by Raphael Mitchel Robinson (1911-1995), at the dawn of the computer age.

 Problem 18.- Pi as a concatenation of the smallest contiguous different primes
The answer is "probably", because the next term in the sequence is at the moment only known to be a probable prime (it has now been tested to a very large number of bases).
For comparison, the "general" prime record is currently (Sep 2002) a 5020-digit prime and took 13 weeks to prove with Primo.
If the prime sequence is extended further then there will probably soon be a case where the first pi-decimal after a prime is 0.

Expressed in the form 2^p - 1, where the exponent p is itself a prime, Mersenne numbers have characteristics that make it relatively easy to determine whether a candidate is a prime.
Because a program for testing primes constantly uses key parts of a microprocessor and stores and retrieves huge amounts of data, the chips can generate a greater than normal amount of heat, which sometimes causes failures.

You are in effect trying to search for a prime such that e's multiplicative inverse has a lot of 0's.
But the only obvious attack would be to try to reproduce your prime-finding algorithm to find a p which divides the modulus n, and that is basically a sqrt(n) algorithm, which is far from the worst-case attack we face.
Maybe you could choose a d such that d itself was 0-rich while ed happens not to be 0-rich; this might feel safer since p would have less of an arithmetical relation to a 0-rich number.
