Do you know where the belief that a four-leaf clover brings good luck began? I don't. I do know that genetically, they are bred to have 3 but they can occasionally they can have four, and in exceptionally rare cases like today, you may find one that has five. I would think four would be the natural though since it's more symmetrical that way and we all know how nature loves symmetry.
According to Google, the legend of good luck originated with the Druids or Celtic Priests. They believed that when carrying a three-leaf clover they could see the evil spirits that roam the world and have time to escape them. They then spun off of that and concluded that with a four-leaf clover, they could make a special charm to wear around and that it would ward off the evil spirits and bad luck around them rather than just see them and try to escape.
