My friend held two 2's in ultimate x triple play and got four of a kind on all lines. Could someone please tell me the odds of this happening? Thanks

There are 16,215 ways to pick 3 of the remaining 47 cards.  You need both 2's along with any of the other 45 cards, so the probability of getting 4 of a kind is 45/16,215, or equivalently, 3/1081.  To get this 3 times in a row, the probability is (3/1081)^3, or about 0.000 000 021 374.  This is about 1 in 46,785,720.
