No biggie. Only a one in 616,266 shot.

My biggest 50-play longshot was holding a pair of 2s and getting SIX quads.
I could use some help with this one, as the number I come up with is too high
to be correct. I think.

That's NOTHING. I once held a pair of 2s on a Fifty Play machine and
ended up with FIFTEEN quads!

Of course, I was playing NSU at the time. Do you think that matters?

Brian, that number reflects a hand in which there are 11 cards that
would complete the draw successfully with a paying hand.

In this case, There are 9 flush cards and 3 high cards that do so - a
total of 12. This changes the event probability to 1 in 2,520,523.

That nudges things a little closer to a "play from hell"
