OK, guess I'm mathematically challenged, then. Of course she has to
roll again, at least once more (and possibly twice if #3 is a one),
as the 8 is still less than the 10 you're saying she requires.

But she's bound to get at least 1 on each subsequent roll, so no
matter what happens she wins. Accordingly, as the OP indicated,
there's no need to bother.

Oh! - I get it now. She's rolling to obtain a number on the die between 1
and 6 inclusive. This wasn't made clear in the original statement. I didn't
know what she was rolling for. If its just a number on the face of the die,
then sure. She has already won the game, so there is no reason to
continue....
