Julie Kimmerling found 15 four-leaf clovers at Oregon Park in Cobb County.
MARIETTA, Ga. -- "Everyone keeps telling me to buy a lottery ticket. I haven't yet, but I think I will," Julie Kimmerling told 11Alive's Julie Wolfe. She's still trying to decide what to do with her new found luck.
Kimmerling was walking her rescue dogs at Oregon Park in Cobb County over the Memorial Day holiday when she found a four-leaf clover. "I wasn't even really looking for it. I just looked down, and there it was," she said.
And then she found another, and another. She went back to her neighborhood park over the next few days with an eye out for more. She now holds 15 four-leaf clovers.
She credits her rescue dogs, Princess and Willie, for the dose of luck. "I've been looking for a four-leaf clover all my life. My dogs made me lucky," she said. She took the dogs to the park with her husband for their daily 45 minute walk. "I was just walking my dogs, and I looked down, and there it was," she said of the fist clover in the streak.
There are an estimated 10,000 three-leaf clovers for every one four-leaf clover, so Kimmerling's stash is against the odds. "I wonder what the world record is," she mulled.
According to Guinness World Records, Kimmerling has a ways to go before she breaks the record. It belongs to Edward Martin Sr. from Cooper Landing, Alaska. As of 2007, his collection included 111,060 four-leaf clovers. But he's been collecting them since 1999. Fifteen in six days is a pretty good start.
