Doesn't Gollum say something along those lines? Anyway, it's interesting, because Sauron gave out the 9 rings before he lost a finger. Did he just know that 9 was the right number of mortal men? Did there just happen to be 9 men who wanted rings? Was it all a coincidence?

Rather because there were only nine rings available. If I remember it rightly, it took some time before he got the seven.
