The odds are about 1.5 in 10 million, which is better odds than the lottery, but the odds are of the same order of magnitude, and your point is taken.

That said, I seem to be getting slightly-worse-than-expected but definitely in the ballpark results. Unless you, personally, have had your account hacked or something, the evidence of your previous commenter's experience and my own weigh heavily in favor of this simply being really, really bad luck. Out of all the people doing all the trials - which has to be a few hundred thousand people - the odds of a 1.5 -in- 10M event are more like 1-in-100.

Since there are getting close to 200 characters now, this kind of thing was bound to happen to someone. It really, really sucks to be you, and it's not a bad idea to ask CG to check and see if you've somehow been hacked (if they're willing), but the people with the worst luck have motivation to post here, so I'm gonna go with bad luck as the most probable explanation until there is evidence of hacking.

Certainly it's not a game-wide problem.
