Single-joker games have 53 cards. You've seen five on the deal, so
there are 48 left. There is only one way to hold four and get the
single card you need on all three lines, so the probability is
1/(48*48*48), or one in 110,592. The jackpot is paid on the final
result, whether it is dealt or drawn.
