I've had two dealt out of only nine royals. Maybe I should be playing
Megabucks?!

If I've done my math right (and that happens less and less these days
as early dementia takes it's toll ;), there's an approximately 9%
probability of this.

And the probability of hitting 2 or more dealt royals out of any 9 is
about 10%.

If that makes Megabucks probable in your eyes, then I've got some
stocks with real winning prospects to unload on you :wink:
