How rare is Scorpion Island?

Last night, I tried looking for Scorpion Island. I had over 70,000 nook miles saved up and purchased around 30 tickets. Also, Flick was on my island, so I wouldn’t have to wait for him and store the scorpions. I went through 10 tickets, nothing. 7 more tickets, nothing. Purchased and went through 10 more tickets, STILL nothing. Purchased 7 MORE tickets, STILL NOTHING. I felt like the game was like “Yeah, we want you to be frustrated and not get lots of money from Flick.” Is Scorpion Island really THAT rare, or did I just get EXTREMELY unlucky?

I’ve read it’s about 1% of the mystery islands. Personally, I’ve had New Horizons for four years and not once encountered it! But maybe that varies from person to person.
