Hi,

The chance for the gas Jupiter meteorite is 0 indeed.
However, theoretically the chance for meteorite from Jupiter moons is a bit
larger than that.
Of course, much greater is chance that such Jupiter moon meteorite will
fall on Jupiter itself rather than escape its gravity.
And even less chance for it to get into collision with Earth.
None have been discovered.

Cheers
