What are the odds?

In Caribbean poker you are delt only five cards out of a deck of 52.
What are the odds of drawing a straight flush?
I may be wrong but I get, ---
Odds for --
Royal straight = (48*49*50*51*52)/5! = 1 in (2598960/4)
Straight flush = (2598960/4)/9 = 1 in 72193.33333...
The only reason I ask is, I hit a queen high straight
flush @ the casino the other night and the payout was 10% of the jackpot.
To be fair the payout should be a little over 11% but who said casinos have to be fair!
