A shell-shocked couple rushed to grab a lottery ticket after cracking a row of double yolk eggs... followed by an '11 billion to one' quadruple yolk. Chris Tulley, 26, and partner Ciaran Duffy, 36, couldn't believe their eyes when they cracked three double yolkers in a row and were gobsmacked when they cracked a fourth egg and found four yolks inside.
The pair quickly googled how rare quadruple yolk eggs are and bought a lottery ticket hoping the find was a sign of good luck but were left disappointed when they didn't win a penny. Chris was left bemoaning why their luck centered around cracking eggs rather than the lottery or something more beneficial - but are continuing to snap up lottery tickets just in case. According to the British Egg Information Service, one in every thousand eggs on average is a double-yolker while the odds of discovering a quadruple-yolker are one in 11 billion.
Chris said: "We were making breakfast, I cracked three eggs and they were both doubles and the last one was a quadruple.
