Default Once in a Lifetime of Video Poker?

While playing Dueces Wild video poker in a casino (not in Nevada) 4 days ago, I tried to double up winning hands and the machine drew Wild2, Wild2, Wild2, Ace, Ace on 5 consecutive attempts. Since 2 is the highest and can't be beaten and ace is 2nd, I lost every single try. If my memory serves me right, the probability of these cards being selected for doubling up on successive tries would be 1/13 * 1/13* 1/13 * 2/13 * 2/13 for .0000107

Was I:
1. Just lucky to see such a rare set of events take place?
2. Do video poker machines not use a 52 card selection when you attempt to double?
3. Can casinos alter machine settings for doubling?
