Fair enough. How is this:

Buying 2000 tickets improves your probability. Your odds become 1:145,999. They began at 1:292,201,337.

Disclaimer: The Powerball website says your 'odds' of winning are 1 in 292,201,338, but mathematically they're giving you the probability, not the odds.

Do you think the computer didnt repeat any combinations? He obviously didnt hand pick 2000 tickets.
