Woman Collects One Four-Leaf Clover a Day For 258 Days

A Wisconsin woman is seeking a Guinness World Record after collecting a four-leaf clover every day for 258 consecutive days.

The woman (Betina Reich of Eau Claire) said she has had the luck o’ the Irish in her hunts for four-leaf clovers since she was 10 years old, and early in the COVID-19 pandemic she started collecting one every day until she had found a clover a day for 112 straight days.

She decided to try to best her personal record in 2021, and ended up collecting a clover each day for 258 days — from March 22 until the first heavy snow fell on Dec. 4.

She is now attempting to get Guinness World Records to create a new category for most consecutive days collecting a four-leaf clover.

The record-keeping agency recognizes a record for largest collection of four-leaf clovers, but would have to create a new category for her accomplishment.
