Just to clarify: do you mean "(sum of digits) + (sum of digits)^2"?
If so, the ONLY lucky numbers are those whose digits add up to 1... because
"x + x^2" is always even (for real integers), and 2 is the only even prime
number.
So, if I understood your definition, here are the lucky numbers up to 10^18:
1
10
100
1000
...
10000000000000000
100000000000000000
1000000000000000000

It seems to me that the problem can't possibly be that simple, so I must
have misunderstood your definition.  Please explain!
