Chances of getting 5 golden legendaries in a single pack?
I found this forum post about chances of getting legendaries.
Quote:
1 Rare each 0,85 to 0,90 packs
1 Epic each +- 5 packs
1 Legendary each +- 20 packs
Golden:
2% Chance of Golden Common (1 Every 50 Cards)
1% Chance of Golden Rare (1 Every 100 Cards)
0.25% Chance Golden Epic (1 Every 400 Cards)
0.05% Golden Legendary (1 Every 2000 Cards)
Where a golden legendary is 0.0005% chance per card in a pack.
I assume getting 5 golden legendaries would be 0.0005% x 0.0005% x 0.0005% x 0.0005% x 0.0005%.
But I'm not sure.

Only considering your information you would be correct. Your information assume that any probability of a card being a (golden) legendary is independent from the probabilities of other cards.
However, this doesn't seem to be the case. On reddit somebody analyzed the probabilities of getting legendaries. Quote:
The probability is increasing as the amount of packs increases and it also shows a significant gain after 30 packs.
I don't know if there is some official source confirming the existence of such a Pity Timer as it is called there.
Thus, the probability of getting a legendary appears not to be the same for every card and, consequently, does not seem to be independent from other probabilities. That means the calculation is probably much more complicated than just (0.05%)^5.
