If we assume every contestant no-deals to the end, they are equally likely to end up with any one of the 22 amounts. The probability of a particular amount occurring 4 or more times is 0.157%, or about 634/1.

Of course in practice more than half of contestants will deal, making the odds of them all getting 1p longer - however a player with a high amount in their box is more likely to have a good game and get an offer from the Banker that will tempt them. The 1p is notoriously difficult to get away from, only 2 people have ever sold it and they are cancelled out by Nick and Connell who both swapped for it!

So it's not quite as unlikely as you might think, I really thought it might be up there in probability with Brenda's once-in-300-years board!

no, brenda and lance's board up to the point when he took out the £250K!!

What?

oh i dont know ignore that post

I think the number of 1p winners is pretty incredibly regardless, I mean is there any other value that has got close to being won as many times that it has been in the box?

I mean, the £1 has had like 14 appearences in the box, but only about 5 or 6 winners?
