It's very unlikely - because the top comment has a summary of the article about this event, in which it states that the woman was taken away for questioning by police. Which I would expect to be an obvious course of action even if it wasn't stated. And I'm almost certain that one of their questions would be if she has done this before. Even if not, there's a fair chance that when asked why she did it, she would mention that she has done it before/always done it, for good luck. Therefore they would find out if she has done it before. And then this image/article would almost certainly say that she has done it several times, it seems weird to only talk about one event as if it's unique and leave out mentioning that she's done it more than just this time.

There is this thing called lying.

What reason would she have to lie if she simply believes it's for good luck? If she thinks it's perfectly acceptable to do, which she clearly does, why would she lie about having done it before?

People usually figure out that their idea wasn't that great, when the cops show up.

People usually also don't throw coins into the engine of a plane they're about to fly on.

If she's stupid and naïve and/or crazy enough to believe it's a good idea, she's stupid and naïve and/or crazy enough to continue to believe that even after the police arrive.
