Is it okay to use the # symbol in these?

He was the #1-ranked player.
She was the cashier on register #10.
That is my #1 option.
As an overall athlete, he is ranked #2.

Is there anything wrong with my use of '#' in these examples?

Thank you

Mike

Using a symbol like the pound sign is fine for informal writing. Always consider your audience. Are you tweeting or writing a brief for a court case?
