Yep, it's just a simple counting argument, you see the distribution that has exponentially more states than any other, subject to constraints. Specifically, you are allowing the range [0,∞). If you had constrained it to a fixed range of money (e.g. there is corrective feedback when you get too much money), then you would have seen a more uniform distribution.
