Buying 2000 tickets improves your probability. Your odds become 1:145,999. They began at 1:292,201,337.
Do you think the computer didnt repeat any combinations? He obviously didnt hand pick 2000 tickets.

My math could be wrong, because this thread is full of funky math, but I believe the probability of the QPs picking 2000 random numbers without repeating any of the same combinations is 99.317536%, so it is pretty safe to assume they were all unique.

Although it's possible, the chance of repeating a combination with only 2000 tickets is very small.
