Pro:
Four leaf clovers are universally recognized as a symbol representing luck. This is because they are incredibly rare to find due to being formed by genetic mutations, with a 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 10,000 chance of happening, creating an extra leaf on the standard three-leaf shamrock. That being said, finding a four leaf clover is considered lucky as it would be incredibly difficult to find one. Because they are so incredibly hard to find, they are considered to bring luck to any person who may come across one.

“They should be considered lucky just because of the dedication it takes,” junior Darrell Austrew said.

Con:
To many people, a four leaf clover is thought to bring good luck. However, the origins of where this idea came from are unclear. This might be a very rare and cool find, but there is no way to link the clover to good luck. A four leaf clover is simply a genetic mutation that occurred. While this is quite rare, it does not mean it is a sign of luck. The four leaf clover bringing luck seems to just be a myth with no real evidence.

“I do not think they are lucky because they are just a plant that people decided to represent good fortune,” sophomore Harris Tran said.
