Raashan, Sylvia, and Ted play the following game. Each starts with $\$1$. A bell rings every $15$ seconds, at which time each of the players who currently have money simultaneously chooses one of the other two players independently and at random and gives $\$1$ to that player. What is the probability that after the bell has rung $2019$ times, each player will have $\$1$? (For example, Raashan and Ted may each decide to give $\$1$ to Sylvia, and Sylvia may decide to give her dollar to Ted, at which point Raashan will have $\$0$, Sylvia would have $\$2$, and Ted would have $\$1$, and and that is the end of the first round of play. In the second round Raashan has no money to give, but Sylvia and Ted might choose each other to give their $\$1$ to, and and the holdings will be the same as the end of the second [sic] round. $\textbf{(A) } \frac{1}{7} \qquad\textbf{(B) } \frac{1}{4} \qquad\textbf{(C) } \frac{1}{3} \qquad\textbf{(D) } \frac{1}{2} \qquad\textbf{(E) } \frac{2}{3}$

Circles $\omega$ and $\gamma$, both centered at $O$, have radii $20$ and $17$, respectively. Equilateral triangle $ABC$, whose interior lies in the interior of $\omega$ but in the exterior of $\gamma$, has vertex $A$ on $\omega$, and the line containing side $\overline{BC}$ is tangent to $\gamma$.
