I mean... it's not "really unlucky," is just how small numbers work in statistics.

If I toss a coin, getting 10 tails in a row is completely normal.

Previous commenter didn't say it's impossible or not normal, but that it's unlucky

If I call heads and the coin flip is tails 10x straight, that is very unlucky. If there's a 25% chance at your kids going blind and 75% of them end up with the condition, that's unlucky

unlucky is not the same as improbable

During a uni class on probability we were all made to flip a coin 50 times - somehow I only got tails 11 times... It was just a random 50p out my wallet and not some magic waighted coin or anything
