1=0
therefore 50%=0=1
so it ALWAYS does not happen AND it ALWAYS does happen

But you're adding to the total number of tickets so

1 ticket: 1/134,490,400
2 tickets: 2/134,490,401
3 tickets: 3/134,490,402

And so on

That's not how lotto works.
You choose 6 numbers out of 49 and the jackpot gets divided among all people who got all numbers correct.
That's why it's best to choose a combination of numbers that's as 'random' as possible as you would win almost nothing with something like (1,2,3,4,5,6).
