A wand of wishes (normally) comes with three charges.  After you've used
them, you have (something like) a 1 in 121 shot of getting a wish on a
subsequent zap (I have gotten two more charges out of a supposedly "dead"
wand while waiting to teleport out of shops).  I have heard (but not
confirmed) that if you are exceedingly unlucky (eaten fido, killed shopkeeps,
that sort of thing) a wish might eat more than one charge.
