Couple find six double eggs yolks in one box
A couple have beaten odds of a trillion to one after finding six double eggs yolks in one box.
''What happened must be as unlikely as winning the lottery - although the lottery would be better, obviously. We'd probably be sitting in another country right now and not eating eggs.''
John and Angie Winfield discovered the rarity when he set about to cook a sausage, egg and chips dinner for his wife, and after finding five double yolkers in the box he was so nervous about the sixth egg that he fumbled it and dropped it onto the kitchen floor by mistake.
He is quoted by the Derby Telegraph as saying: ''When it got down to the last one, I was so nervous that I actually dropped it. It cracked on to the kitchen floor and there was yet again another double yolk.
''What happened must be as unlikely as winning the lottery - although the lottery would be better, obviously. We'd probably be sitting in another country right now and not eating eggs.''
The British Egg Information Service has revealed the odds of finding one double yolker is less than 0.1 per cent, 1,000 to one, meaning finding six in a box is one trillion to one.
