Nearly a quarter of British people have won money wearing their lucky underwear, a new study has found.
Research conducted by Mecca Bingo has revealed that one in 10 Britons own a set of ‘lucky underwear’, with most men and women keeping hold of their lucky pair for four years, and 16 per cent of people keeping their special pants for over a decade.
According to the study, almost a quarter (19 per cent) have won money whilst wearing lucky underwear.
To celebrate this research, Mecca Bingo has created a pair of shorts for men and briefs for women on sale on a first come first served basis for a suggested charity donation of £2.
TOWIE star Ferne McCann was drafted in to model the women’s lucky pants, which are black and white with tiny red hearts.
Posing in her local bingo hall in a pair of heels and a cropped T-shirt Ferne said: “It’s fascinating to hear that so many people have lucky underwear.
“I’ve never owned a pair of lucky undies so I’m thrilled to finally have a set of my own – I can’t wait to test them out”
A spokesman for Mecca Bingo said: “Our customers have all kinds of lucky rituals from jewellery to cuddly toys.
“We know that lucky undies are also a popular choice, so we thought why not find out what the nation’s luckiest pair would look like, and create them and make them available to our customers.”
The money raised will go to the Carers Trust which Mecca Bingo supports nationwide.
