One expression that is similar to "wish me luck" is "keep your fingers crossed". Crossing your fingers is a common gesture that means to wish for good luck, so this expression is like asking for good luck. Ex: I'm going in for my interview now, keep your fingers crossed! Another expression you can use is "here goes nothing". Unlike the other two, this expression is not directly asking for good luck, but it implies that the person will need luck because they lack confidence in something they are about to do that is challenging. Ex: It's my turn to go on stage. Here goes nothing.
