The middle candle is called the SHAMUS. Since it is prohibited to utilize the light from candles that fulfill the commandment, it is necessary to have an auxiliary light source to prevent accidental use of the commandment lights. The middle candle is also used to light the other candles or to relight candles that were blown out. This non commandment candle is placed above or to the side of the commandment candles to identify its function.
The candle represents light and warmth around the world.

It usually symbolizes two becoming one. The ceremony starts with the two outside candles burning and the middle one not lit. During the ceremony, the bride and groom each take a lit candle and combine their flames into one on the center candle. After the center candle is lit, they extinguish the flames on their individual candles.
Well, if you mean is it "bad luck" then no. But if you touch a candle you will get burned or hurt!
