Not true. The odds any combination of numbers being the winning number is around that (1:320M). The odds of anyone possessing that specific combination of numbers is better than 1:320M.

Ask anyone who has bought 20 tickets, 5 per ticket, on behalf of a group of 20 people, each of whom contributed $1 and each of whom is entitled to an equal share of the winnings.
