Question of the Day — 22 May 2023

During the odds of getting a royal flush question, you didn't mention getting dealt a royal on the redraw after throwing your dealt cards away. I had that happen once. Quite a pleasant surprise.

If you're dealt five garbage cards, toss them, and draw five new ones, your chance of coming up with a drawn royal is 1 in 383,484. 

And to answer a few similar questions you didn't ask, but really wanted to know, when you're dealt one card to the royal, your chance of drawing the other four is 1 in 178,365.

Dealt two cards to the royal, it's 1 in 16,215.

Three is 1 in 1,081.

And four, of course, is 1 in 47.
