For your reference only..
Not sure if the game ends as soon as one wins (3 win spins) or must do all the 5 spins, I did base on the second one. If it is the first one, then just do P(X=3).
BTW, the X represents the number of winning spin out of 5 spins with 1/4 chance of hitting the lucky zone, so X~B(5, 1/4).
Not sure your level of education too, so I showed three methods of calculation...
