The phenomenon occurs in about 1 out of every 25 million of these items purchased. 

An ALDI shopper has taken to Facebook to share how she struck gold with a carton of eggs, not once, but twice. 

Sharing to the ALDI Mums Facebook page, a woman named Pat said she cracked four consecutive double-yolk eggs last week and this week, found an egg in her next carton with a triple-yolk.

"Buy a lottery ticket"

"You need to buy a lottery ticket, this is rare!" said one, while another person added: "They say it's good luck to crack twins, let alone triplets!"

"I always buy ALDI eggs and never get a double... a triple though! Wow! You are lucky!" chimed in someone else.

"That must have been a giant egg before you cracked it," quipped a different group member. 

"I have worked as a cook in hospitality for well over 20 years and never in my days have I seen a triple yolk !!" someone else concluded.
