How I always put it in perspective is that, yes there’s 1 in 87B chance of that happening (described in another reply) but any specifically chosen order, say one that appears random, has exactly the same chance of appearing.
It’s a bit mind blowing to realise that chosing 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 as your lottery numbers has the exact same chance of winning as chosing 3,8,17,18,26,33,42 (or whatever the winning combo was). But we wouldn’t choose a sequence like that would we?
