Why jackpot odds are 1 in 8,145,060
Winning the jackpot means matching all 6 numbers drawn from 1–45 in any order, and the number of possible combinations is given by 45 choose 6 (45C6). The formula is 45×44×43×42×41×40 divided by 6×5×4×3×2×1 (=720); dividing the numerator 5,864,443,200 by 720 gives exactly 8,145,060. So there are 8,145,060 possible 6-number combinations, meaning any single combination has odds of 1 in 8,145,060. Whether picked automatically or by hand, every combination has exactly the same odds.
Why "frequently drawn numbers" don't help next time
Each lottery drawing is an independent trial. Whether a number has come up often or rarely in past draws, its odds in the next drawing remain exactly 6 in 45 — the balls and machine have no memory. Believing a number is "due" because it hasn't appeared in a while is the same gambler's fallacy as thinking a coin is more likely to land tails after nine heads in a row. This generator draws every set independently, unrelated to past winning statistics.
