Won 14 hands of street poker against 4 people...IN A ROW

Hi there

Can someone help me work out the odds of winning 14 hands (Hold Em format) of street poker against 4 people (5 including me) in a row?

This happened not too long ago, and I know the odds are ridiculous but unsure how to work them out, somebody mentioned it would be 5 to the power of 14?

If you all have an equal chance of winning every hand, then yeah it's 5^-14 = 1/6,103,515,625 for any specific 14 hand streak.
