Because most clover have only three leaves not four, so it takes a bit of luck to find a four leaf bit of clover in a field.

The Irish have a tradition that says if someone finds one by accident they will have good luck. Only 1 in 10,000 have 4 leaves. They stand for: Faith, Hope, Love, and Luck. When Eve left the Garden of Eden, some people say she was holding a four-leaf clover. The green hills of Ireland have more four-leaf clovers than anywhere else, or so the Irish say. From that comes the saying, "luck of the Irish." St. Patrick used a shamrock (one that has three leaves) to represent the holy trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Some Christians see the four-leaf clover as a resemblance to the cross and some also say that the fourth leaf is the grace of God. The Irish believe that finding a four-leaf clover is LUCKY but finding one with 5 or more is UNLUCKY. Druids believed that when they carried a shamrock that they could see evil spirits coming so they could get away before they came and they thought that four-leaf clovers guarded against bad luck and offered magical protection.

represents the Holy Trinity - The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. If a four leaf clover is found, then the fourth leaf is considered to bring God's Grace.

If you try to look for them, then you will know why it takes luck to find them. Buy a lottery ticket if you do. You mostly won't win, but you will never know if you don't play.

it means that you are going to have very badluck on the day that you pick the clover and the day after you find it. if you pick a two leaf clover, you will have some bad news the day that you find the clover. a 3 leaf clover means that nothing special will happen.
