Can we say that?

Greetings everyone!

I'd like to replace repetition of the word "brought" by "does". Is that appropriate?

This thing brought me luck and I hope it does as well to you too.

Thank you.

spinyman I'd like to replace repetition of the word "brought" by "does". Is that appropriate? I guess it's possible but it's pretty awkward sounding, here's how I would say it: This thing brought me luck and I hope it does the same for you.
