(The final two spins were solo spins, for what it’s worth, meaning three straight events reached $1 just on the barest minimum that’s a 1/8000 chance. So the five events that all end up totaling $1 are the five 1/20 events in a row, and that’s ridiculous. I’m not a math expert, but my internal logician says it’s much closer to a 1/20 chance, five consecutive spins, just with a different baseline in between. There are reset events with each spin that doesn’t land directly on $1, but if you muddy up the probability a bit and say they have a 2/20 chance (which isn’t accurate, since again, the two sums aren’t always known) it breaks down to 1/10 five times in a row, or 1 in 100,000. Obviously it’s not quite straight up, considering there are a few variables involved. That’s just for the five spins that ended up resulting in $1. So, five straight instances of someone hitting a 1/20 shot? The odds of that come out to (checks math) 1 in 3,200,000. But getting there in two spins is basically also a 1/20 probability, as the second spin is the one that counts you’re just starting with a different baseline than zero on the first spin. Obviously landing on $1 is a 1/20 probability. There are twenty numbers on the wheel, in increments of five. How often have you ever seen two contestants in one round get $1? It’s very rare because mathematically it’s very rare. First of all, FIVE times in a row contestants added up to a dollar.
