Special Containment Procedures: SCP-9074 is set upon a standard mannequin within Anomalous Object Containment Site-18, and is not to be removed except for testing and transport. No personnel are authorized to use SCP-9074 for personal gain, such as gambling or winning bets.
Description: SCP-9074 is a golden chain necklace with a large golden dollar sign as a pendant. This dollar sign is lined variously with diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. The anomalous effects of SCP-9074 only activate when it is worn by a sentient creature, and said creature is capable of supporting SCP-9074's immense weight of two (2) kilograms around their neck. When it is worn, SCP-9074 will give the wearer extremely good "luck," in which it is believed to warp perceived outcomes so they always work in favor of the wearer. The wearer is nearly incapable of death or harm when wearing SCP-9074, as any attempts to harm or terminate the wearer will result in the attacker either becoming incapable of harming the wearer, or the attacker becoming harmed themselves.
When SCP-9074 is removed from a subjects possession, the subject will not only gain anomalous symptoms similar to the Ebola virus, but they will be subject to extreme "unluck," causing nearly everything that could go wrong follow through. Test log of SCP-9074's capabilities is below.

Subject: D-39453
Test: Another D-Class was instructed to bludgeon D-39453 with a nightstick.
Results: Upon attempting to strike D-39453, D-38952 missed his target and the force made his elbow curve, causing him to strike himself in the side of the head. He suffered a brain hemorrhage and died shortly after.

Subject: D-39453
Test: D-39423 was given an M1911 .45 ACP handgun and instructed to attempt to terminate D-39453 with a shot to the head.
Results: Upon pulling the trigger to the pistol, the gun simply clicked and misfired. D-39423 racked the current round from the chamber and attempted to pull the trigger again. Repeat for all eight (8) rounds. On the final round, however, the gun backfired and exploded in D-39423's hand, severely mangling her entire arm and shoulder. Emergency treatment was administered and D-39423 was returned to D-Class duty.
Upon examination, all bullets in the gun had their primers struck, although they did not ignite. More research as to why the bullets failed is ongoing.

Subject: D-39453
Test: An improvised explosive device (IED) was constructed by prior demolitions expert Doctor ████████ and placed in front of D-39453. D-39453 was given a pair of wire cutters and told to cut the wire he thought would disable the explosive. Unbeknownst to him, all wires were rigged to detonate the explosive if they were cut. Despite feeling extreme unease at cutting a wire, D-39453 severed one of the wires and the explosive detonated, terminating D-39453 and leaving SCP-9074 unharmed.
Okay, so it won't change an invariable outcome. Get me another D-Class. Maybe we can figure out what counts as a changeable outcome… - Doctor Fernes

Subject: D-39485
Test: Another improvised explosive device was constructed, this time with one (1) wire out of thirty-two (32) wires that will disable the bomb rather than detonate it. When given a pair of wire cutters and told to cut a wire, D-39485 began to dig through the pile of wires and happened to cut the exact wire needed to disable the device. When asked how he knew to cut that specific wire, D-39485 claimed it "just felt right."
Date: 10/12/██
Subject: D-39485
Test: A third improvised explosive device was constructed, this time with fifty-five (55) wires that would disable the bomb and one (1) that would detonate it. He was told to cut every wire but one. He happened to pick out the exact wire that would detonate the device and cut the others, disabling the device. He again claimed that it "just felt right."
Discovery: SCP-9074 was discovered in the possession of professional gambler Nicholas Pemberton when his 100% winning streak was flagged by the casino he played at most frequently. By chance, a Foundation agent embedded at said casino who was there to find gambling-related anomalies recognised the anomalous patterns. Mobile Task Force Gamma-606 "Card Cutters" was dispatched and apprehended Pemberton with great difficulty, removing SCP-9074 from his possession and amnestitizing him before releasing him.
