Does the fact that this is a single instance matter?
What has happened has happened. there is no probability anymore.

No, that you interpret this as a single instance doesn't matter.

Some explanations of probability ask you to think about situations that are repeated many times. However, that is just a pedagogical tool. Probability makes sense when you only have one trial.
