There are four 7's in a standard card. Chance of getting a 7 first is 4/52 = 1/13

There are four queens in a standard card. Chance of getting a queen in the second drawing is 4/51 and chance of getting a queen in the third drawing is 3/50.

Therefore, chance of drawing a seven and two queens is 1/13 x 4/51 x 3/50 = 2/5525
