Is "Wheel of Fortune" a joke card or something? (lemm.ee)

I am very seriously asking. I picked up the game couple of days ago and I've been playing and enjoying it quite a lot. However, I am baffled by the Wheel of Fortune tarrot card. At this point I have unlocked like 80% of the collection and won the game multiple times, I purchased and triggered the card probably close to a hundred times and never saw it trigger. Other luck based cards, even the ones with much smaller odds (the banana joker, for example) work just fine. Is it a prank card made by the developer or something along those lines?

It's just rng, I'm afraid. I purchase it often and it procs sometimes.

Fair enough! Obviously I know its improbable, but not impossible. Seems almost funny, though, so I had to ask!

Understandable, those odds do seem crazy

I’ve had it proc 3 times in a row on a run, so I no longer grumble (much) about the games where it never seems to.

You gotta pay attention cause the Nope is slow, but when it hits, it's so fast I always have to dig through and see which joker got it
