Are offering a £1,000,000 payout to anyone who gets 6 Blackjacks in a row. Standard online blackjack rules, using a single deck reshuffled after each hand. What is the expected number of hands required to achieve this? Would £50,000 at £1 a hand come close??

Yeah, looks about right :-(
On the face of it, it seemed a good offer.
