Dealt sequential royal

I was dealt a royal that was also sequential (10-Ace). How often does that occur?

The odds of a dealt royal, assuming no extra wild cards, is 1 in
649,740. The odds of a royal being in the sequence you described is 1
in 120. I saw one of these, although I can't remember which sequence
it was in.

There are 311,875,200 ways to deal out 5 cards from a 52-card deck.

(52 * 51 * 50 * 49 * 48 = 311,875,200)

4 of those ways are sequential RF’s running from 10 to Ace.

So the odds are 4/311,875,200 which is very close to 1 in 78 million.
