Rare Spherical Egg Auctioned for £200 to Support Youth Mental Health

The one-in-a-billion round egg, discovered in Scotland, was sold at a UK charity auction to fund mental health programs for young people.

A perfectly spherical egg, an extremely rare phenomenon with a one-in-a-billion occurrence, was sold for £200 (approximately ₹21,500) at a charity auction in the UK.
The egg was first discovered by a woman in Ayr, Scotland, in a box of eggs purchased from a local Asda supermarket.
Ed Pownall, a man from Berkshire, initially purchased the egg for £150 after spotting it for sale at a pub and later donated it to the Iuventas Foundation, a youth-focused mental health charity.
The Iuventas Foundation auctioned the egg alongside other items, raising a total of £5,000 to support mental health services for individuals aged 13 to 25.
Proceeds from the auction will help the charity expand its programs, reaching more young people struggling with mental health challenges or facing long wait times for support.
