Like I said above, the odds of matching all 6 will be the same.
So, for example,
lets say he has 6500 different combos.
He has 6500 chances of winning the big prize at 1 in 13.5 mill. The odds stay the same.

No, his odds increase as a whole. Sure each ticket has the same chances to win, but we're not talking about each of his tickets. We are talking about his odds.
If there are 13.5M different number combinations, and he has 6500 of those combinations, then he has a 6500 in 13.5M chance of winning
