Wow
You got the rank you needed, but caught every possible incorrect suit.
I've played a decent possibly indecent amount of Triple Play, and I'm not sure I've ever drawn two of the possible three.

What are the odds of getting Ace high straights in a draw like that, each with a different suit (and missing the royal)—must be astronomical!

Yes, misery loves company. So, I will share yesterday’s SF. I was so short on funds by this time that it couldn’t ultimately yield a profit!

I get 1 in 17,304 (multiplying 3/47 x 2/47 x 1/47).
But the drawing opportunity itself is rare. Dealt 4-to-a-royal cycle is 2764, and only one-fifth of those are missing the Ace. 17304 x 2764 x 5 = 239.1 million cycle.
If I played full-time, exclusively Triple Play, it would occur once every 149 years, imo. And it would probably happen on the day I forgot my camera phone in the hotel room.
