Ahead of the Lunar New Year of Rooster, a woman named Tao who broke an egg to find it contained five yolks counted it as a good omen, sharing the lucky moment with friends online. /VCG photo

“It is almost the Year of Rooster, and this was just such a big coincidence! I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Rooster!” Tao wrote. The yolks in this lucky egg each measured 1.5 centimeters in diameter, with the egg's shell looking no different from other typical eggs. /VCG photo

Jin Guofeng, an expert from Huazhong Agricultural University has assured the egg is safe to eat. Whether or not it will bring Tao and her family good luck is another matter altogether. /VCG photo
