Me da deru ... to have good luck
芽が出る、目が出る
me ga deru ... also in gambling (ME is the word for the "eyes" on the dice).

Daruma san is also often used as o-mamori, even in the version with his eyes popping out as a sign of extra good luck.　
O-Mamori, お守り




This is one I got from a temple in Shikoku.


ME GA DERU is a kind of pun with words, well loved by the people of Edo.
I have written more about this :
