<p>Yes, we have had an instance where we made it through the draw pile without anyone going out. (There were 5 of us). We used to play a lot, so I think it's rare.

Okay.  I felt since this was not in the rules, I just assumed how we handled it in house, would be seen as a house rule and not an answer.  But I'll move it.
