MONTCLAIR, NJ — Finding a six-leaf clover is the stuff of magic. But that’s what happened to Sam Karp, 7, this week when he stumbled across a super-rare specimen in Montclair.

According to Karp’s mother, her son discovered the clover on Saturday in their backyard on Montclair Avenue. They’ve found some four-leafers in the past – and even a few with five leaves.

“Montclair as a whole actually seems to have a lot of mutant clovers,” she told Patch.

What are the odds of finding a four-leaf, five-leaf or six-leaf clover? Estimates vary.

Many reports say you have a one-in-10,000 chance of finding a four-leaf clover, which would make a five-leafer a one-in-a-million find – and a six-leaf clover extraordinarily rare.

However, another study found that there are 5,076 three-leaf clovers for every four-leafer. There is a one-in-24,390 chance of finding a five-leaf clover, and a one-in-312,500 chance of coming across a six-leaf clover, it claims.

Want to do your own hunting for lucky clovers? You won’t need a ton of space to get started. There are about 10,000 clovers in a dense patch that takes up roughly 12.5 square feet, a recent blog post suggested.
