Default greatest accomplishment mathmatically?

it is sunday oct 22,i just did something that is so mathmatically hard to do,you wouldnt believe it unless you looked it up,i was playing the silver tournament early in the am on pokerroom,it had 140 players in it,i won the tournamant,so im like yeah i finally won a tournament,so i sign up for the next silver tournament,it is free to get in these so i usually play crazy in the beg and if i get some chips tightin down,well this one had 290 players in it,I WIN IT AGAIN 1st,so while this tournament was going on,there was one more silver that i signed up for,it was the plohl ,there were 215 players in the tournament,i was so hungry from playing the first two that i sat out in the middle of the tournament ,i had about 5k in chips,i went to wendys,got me something to eat,came back and i had around 4300 in chips,i go on to win this tournament also,so thats 3 tournaments ,3 first place wins,140 ,290 ,and 215 players,i have heard of some great accomplishments,like dan harrington making like 3 final tables in a row,or johnny chan winning the main even 2 times ,then coming in second ,but i think the fields were less,maybe someone can mathmatically tell me if this might be one of the top 5 or 10 greates accomplishments mathmatically ever!!!!(and if you want to look it up ,my screen name on pokerroom is sharky21222

Parsing and comprehending your post is a greater accomplishment than anything you might've said in it.

BBV?

Quite simply if you give yourself and every player the same value:
1/140(0.00714) X 1/290(0.00344) X 1/215(0.00465) = .000000118 or 0.0000118% or 8,474,576:1

The chance of winning the Mega Million lottery is 175,711,536:1

3,669,120,000,000:1 <--- better keep up your streak if you want a shot at top5.

I'm impressed, but not yinsanely shocked....even mike matesou making it to two final tables in fields of thousands of players is mroe impressive....or greg raymer winning and then making it really far the next year.....plus these were free tournies so i would cut whatever odds you had of doing this in half

You put this in BBV too. And it's just as unreadable.
Don't cross post stuff like this, and learn some of the formatting rules of the English language.
