That happened to me last week. Also had 1 stick in the CM shot (pro). It got caught right at the turnaround.
That one stuck in the pop though....it was really stuck in there good. Only time that's happened in probably 300 games.

The middle of the Legolas ramp.
Weirdest thing. Totally defying gravity...

i don't think it would have stuck, if i hadn't put in there the ball guide on the ramp of TMNT
But the chances are still very small.

I'd modded my T2 with the awesome "loot crate" skull, which allowed for this highly unusual stuck ball.

For those unfamiliar with T2, there's a VUK under the skull (which also serves as a Lock during multiball), blocked by a drop target. I had just started multiball and immediately shot one into the VUK/lock -- but there was a slight delay in the drop target re-raising, so when a second ball immediately followed the first, it ricocheted off the first and up and over into the pocket below the skull as shown here.

No ball search cycle was getting this one outta there, had to open it up.

Air ball on CV tried to sneaky lock but couldn’t squeeze through. It was really wedged in there.

Somehow got punted by the drop target and almost cleared the guide, but got wedged beneath the glass...

Crazy multiball action sent one careening and wedged itself under this spotlight on my GoT Pro.

Happened a few years ago on my Fast Draw. No wonder, that rubber ring had seen better days and I should have changed it.

With how fast and furious this game is it’s a wonder a ball hasn’t landed on top of the Death Star. Yet...

Neither are really stuck, just perched on top of the ball guides. Nothing the slightest of nudges wouldn't jar loose. I had one settle up top the other night too.

I wasn't there to see it happen, but I think that the Death Star wireform came off and got lodged in the ball trough. When I saw the game all six balls were clogged in the drain, a four player game was started and there were six additional credits on the game.

First time getting a stuck ball here on my AFM. It shot up the ramp, hit the glass and landed there.

Glass had to come off for this one.

While playing Valhalla at Pincinnati, the right sling assaulted the ball with such extreme prejudicial velocital force that it vanished right before my eyes. I mean POOF! Gone.

It took me a solid 2 minutes of bewildered stretching and posturing all over the machine to finally glimpse it.

Of course after finding it I had to laugh because it was perfectly fitting: I mean, the Dragon basically ate it!
