What are the chances?

Today I picked five cards from a shuffled deck of cards: the 4 of spades, the 7 of spades, the king of diamonds, the 6 of hearts, and the 9 of clubs.  On the very next hand, I picked the following: the jack of spades, the 4 of hearts, the jack of hearts, the 2 of clubs, and the 8 of clubs.  That only has a 1 in 422,160,768,121 chance of happening.  I should go to Vegas.
