What saint to pray to for good news or good luck?

To be technical, none of the saints grant favours on their own. They intercede to God on your behalf, and it is God who grants the favours. The saints are our friends in Heaven, all of them are interested in our lives and are eager to pray for us and our needs. You can do a web search for patronage of whatever type of favor you are looking for. For example, St. Anthony of Padua is the patron of finding things that are lost. Hope this was helpful.
