On Re-draw, has anybody hit RF on all lines of 3-Play or 5-Play?

Let's take the most likely to occur scenario, dealt 4 to the royal and fill on all 3 lines.

P(dealt 4 to the royal) = 1 in 2700 ( approximately)

p( fill in royal on 3 lines) = 1/47 1/47 * 1/47 = 1 in 103823.

P(dealt 4 to the royal) * p( fill in royal on 3 lines) = 1 in 280 million ( about). Now, this is 280 million dealt hands, which is 840 million played hands at triple play.

This is the most likely 'royal on each line, not dealt' possibility. I think they should pay you the progressive.

John,
     Not to be a pain - but, while the probability of a bottom line
Royal would be 1/47 ... wouldn't the probability on the 2nd and 3rd
line be 1/48 (since you are holding four and haven't been dealt a
5th)?
