Hi,

My friend won 5k playing by putting $5 on a "Lucky Ladies" spot. He told me the odds and I figured I would calculate it. When I do the calculation myself I am off by an order of 2. Can someone find my mistake please:

To win the 1000x payout, the following needs to happen:

1) Double deck black jack.
2) He needs to be dealt both Queen of hearts.
3) Dealer needs to be dealt a black jack.
4) Odds listed on the website is 114,953 to 1.

Odds of getting both Queen of hearts (104/2 * 103) = 5356

Odds of dealer getting black jack (102/8 (8 aces)) * (101/30 (30 tens, jacks, queens, kings left) = 42.925.

When I multiple the two answers I get 229906. What obvious thing am I doing wrong?
