Thanks for the explanation. She didn't have to ask. They just paid her. Richard

Subject: Re: [vpFREE] Triple play hand of note
The odds are 47 cubed once you have the RF4. The chances of being dealt a
RF4 are about one in 2700. Multiplying 2700 X 47^3 = 280 million plus. So, on
your next triple play hand, the chances of being dealt a RF4 AND drawing three
Royals is one in 280 million.
Was your friend "automatically" paid the Dealt Royal amount, or did she have
to fight for it? Just curious.

A lady of my acquaintance recently was dealt a RF4 in spades while playing
the progressive triple play at the Suncoast and drew the spade queen on all
three lines. While quite extraordinary, I assumed the odds were 47 cubed.
Please explain how you calculate 280 million to one? Incidentally, she was paid
the dealt royal progressive amount.
