A SoraNews24 reporter tested a Japanese superstition that equates 'good luck' with having poop on oneself to win the Nenmatsu Jumbo Takarakuji New Year’s lottery. Surprisingly, the 'dirty butthole' strategy yielded the highest return on investment compared to other methods.
In Japan, the phrase for 'good luck' sounds similar to 'having poop on yourself,' leading to a belief that fecal matter brings fortune. One reporter decided to test this theory by purchasing lottery tickets after a less-than-thorough bathroom visit.
Compared to other strategies employed by different media outlets, including consulting a famous lottery shop and using occult methods, the 'poop luck' approach surprisingly yielded a profit. While not a guaranteed path to riches, it offers a unique, if unconventional, perspective on Japanese superstitions.
Travelers intrigued by Japanese culture might find this story amusing, but it's a reminder that luck and superstition play a role in local traditions. While we don't recommend trying this yourself, it's a quirky example of how cultural beliefs can influence behavior.
