What are the odds of getting any specific combination? The only thing vaguely unusual about that will is that there weren't any 1s, and there's like a 15% for that. Picking out any specific sequence and if you'll get those numbers in that order are going to be very low odds, but getting 'more 4s than you expect' or no 1s is kind of reasonable.

The odds of you getting struck by lightning are pretty low, but the odds of someone getting struck by lightning in a given year are so high that it would be noteworthy if it didn't happened.
