Anyone else having ridiculously bad luck with Wonder Pick?

Normally I don't vent about things not going my way. I know to at least wait for the "Law of Averages" to swing back in my favor... but at this point, I'm really starting to question if odds are being skewed.

I have been playing this game, actively every single day, for about 90 days now. I figure that the average number of wonder-picks I do per day is about 2.5. I typically don't chase EX or higher.

That is 225 wonder picks. Now, out of 225 picks, I maybe have gotten 15 of the cards that I was chasing. That is a rate of 6.6%, when the rate SHOULD be somewhere in the vicinity of 20% [1 of 5 cards].

For over 200 picks, at worst, 15% would be the worst rate you should have and 25% the best luck you could have. 6.6% is astronomically unlikely and that is cause for suspicion.

I have picked for Pokemon Communication roughly over 20 times now. I am 0 for 20.

I have picked for Giant Cape probably 15 times now. I am 0 for 15.

Back when I was trying to complete Genetic Apex, I probably picked for Ivysaur 50 times before I pulled one in a pack anyway.

Before I just assume that pick odds for certain chase cards are weighted, has anyone had this bad of luck or am I just the unluckiest TCGP player in the world?
