As suggested in another post, a dealt royal on an IGT machine (and I suspect other manufacturer's) locks the machine, automatically holds all cards, and then flashes the handpay sign (assuming a $1200+ hit, or back in the days of coin slots).
I've seen it cited that a NV statute requires such an automatic hold of the cards anytime a top line hit is dealt that can't be improved on the deal. (No idea if this is accurate.)
So in the situation you describe, I'm going to infer that the jackpot was signaled, but you indeed didn't hold any cards: you tossed the dealt hand and hit a rather improbable royal by being dealt it on the draw.

My first dealt Royal I ask the bartender to call slot services. She got my info and I think had paid me and then noticed that I had not held any of the cards. Machine had set there all that time subject to asking for a draw/deal and none of us had noticed. Guess maybe I was a tad excited.
