Though I'm not sure if you were abnormally lucky, I don't see how you getting Followers even seals the game at all with Jack on the board and Inn as a village of sorts. Your opponent had more Stables than you, and could probably still get Provinces even with a 3-card hand. Without +buy on the board, you can't do much better than 1 Province a turn anyway. Okay, you can with Princess, but you didn't get that yet. Followers doesn't help too much in getting more prizes, so your opponent could still get the other prizes. In fact, Trusty Steed might be even better than Followers here due to the Silver gaining ability . 4 extra Silvers should be great for Stables BM.
