I played two 1v1s today and spawned as Zerg both games. I was talking to my buddy over Skype who also plays random and he got normal random spawns today. My guess is you are experiencing some weird bug, hopefully Blizzard will be able to help. Do you see the random icon next to your name during the loading screen?

Running low on Terran's, make every Random player get Terran by default.

As dUTtrOACh pointed out, it is indeed the correct probability. You thought that 1 in 717.9 sextillion was too small??? That number is so massive.
Skill is relative.

I have not play this week, but for months I mostly random to zerg. I am a terran player but most time I play random in team games I hardly random to terran.

If you have the starter edition, and it only allows you to pick Terran, I'd assume that Random isn't even an option, right? (I have no experience playing the starter edition, so I have no idea.)

no idea, because i dont have the starter edition. i pick random, it goes into queue and says something about loading starter edition or some nonsense, and then the game queues up. i haven't tested it to see whether its related or how many times i get terran. i just had a similar experience that i thought was odd. the only reason i noticed it is that i hate terran. ;-)

there is definitely a bug; just don't know if its causing to always get terran or not. may be completely unrelated.

Sometimes, if you don't select random (when playing with friends and one of them sends the game invite), you will automatically spawn as terran. (none of them are selected, so it defaults to terran)
4v4 is a battle of who has the better computer.

Actually, that number is way too big for it to have happened for anybody.

Got the starteredition bug the other day. Played 3v3 and it said everybody was random, I didnt even get to pick race and my allies were zerg but it looked like they were random too. I restarted the game after the first time and then the problem was gone.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.
