So even in the best case you list (which I share your skepticism of), you are 1,000x more likely to win the MegaMillions or Powerball jackpot than pick the perfect winning grid.
To put the odds of picking a perfect grid by hand in rough perspective, it would be like winning the lottery, boarding a plane that crashes into the ocean, being the only survivor floating in the ocean, but then are struck by lightning 3 times and yet you live, only to then be eaten by a shark, all in a single day.

That makes me wonder what odds you'd get at the bookmakers for a perfect winning grid.
I think I remember seeing a prize somewhere of an obscene amount of money (memory is hazy, but was something like over $100M, maybe even a billion) for a perfect winning grid.
