The 'world's luckiest mum'' says it's time to put the lottery on after finding something very rare on a random trip to the park. Katie Lyon was enjoying time with her family and 22-month-old son Kyrian in her local park.
The 35-year-old, from Gateacre, in the suburbs of Liverpool, was strolling around Bowring Park, Huyton, on Monday when she couldn't believe her eyes as she found a cluster of four leaf clovers, a historic sign of good luck, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Many believe the plants stand for faith, hope, love, and luck, and Katie came across a rare bunch of 29 in the grass at the park. The shocked mum even claims to have found a five leaf clover.
It is considered extremely rare and very lucky to find one. According to experts, the probability of finding one is between 1 in 5,000 or 1 in 10,000, but they tend to be found in clusters when discovered.
Katie told the Echo: "I was walking with near my mum and dad's house with my little boy and my niece. We stopped to look at a patch of daisies and stuff and realised there was four-leaf clovers there.
"I just kept finding them - there was just lots of them. I'm either tuned in to finding them or just lucky.
"I know they curl up if you don't put them flat so I took them back to the car and put them in the car log book."
Upon returning home, Katie said she put the clovers on two pieces of A4 paper to dry, pressed between two books in the house.
Bizarrely, she told of how she came across another four-leaf clover in another park while out the following day.
She said: "I'm not sure about luck. I understand there's luck associated with it...I might put the lottery on just in case."
With four-leaf clovers being typically hard to find, Katie said she wanted to let people know "that in Liverpool they are out there."
She added: "Other people might be able to find them and share the luck as well."
