Probablility of a Royal on a 5-card re-draw?

#1

Any of you math wizards or VP experts on the board know the probability of
hitting a Royal on a 5-card re-draw? I searched the Internet but couldn't
find the answer - question prompted by this foto of a "re-draw" royal. Thanks
for any info!

There are 1,533,939 ways to select 5 cards out of the 47 remaining on
the redraw. Assuming one of the cards thrown out wasn't a 10 then the
odds of getting the Royal are 1 in 383,485. This of course is provided
that you are playing a game where it is proper to hold a high card and
didn't make any mistakes in the discard. If a 10 was discarded then it
goes up to 1 in 511,313. Not quite as rare as the dealt Royal but
still up there.

A redraw royal is a lot rarer than a dealt royal when
measured by the expected number of redraw royals
per number of dealt hands.

FWIW, playing JW2, one of the games that I play
regularly, I can't get a redraw royal because I always
hold at least one card.

I don't know the answer...but I wished I knew who got that, because I
was there this weekend, and I know the machines this was hit on, and
I've hit a royal on the very same bank of 5 machines...as it was, I got
two 4oak's on those specific machines this weekend...
