The Largest Unofficial Dice Roll In History: 216,000 Dice Spill from a Truck:

A truck carrying about 432,000 dice from Trivium Studios took a turn a little too sharply on Interstate 75 in Atlanta, causing half the load to spill out, about 216,000 D6.

The article links to a YouTube video of what the aftermath looked like.

From the video's description:

On Friday afternoon in Atlanta, our truck, which was carrying three palettes of Chessex dice for an upcoming game, took a turn a little too sharply. Roughly half the dice spilled across the interstate. About 216,000 individual dice were lost, making this the largest unofficial dice roll in history.

What are the chances of that happening again?

=)

    Ah never mind. My comment mainly applies to rolling a single die. I'm sure you could plug the case for 216,000 dice into the formula easily enough but I haven't got time right now.
