If you play quickdraw you could get the same numbers twice. I think with that caveat the odds should be the same.

To be fair, wouldn't the odds of QuickDraw picking the same numbers twice (even if there weren't a built in limit against that) be the same odds as winning the jackpot in the first place?

Only if you are only picking two sets of numbers. If you are doing 10k sets, the last set has a 9999/292M chance of being the same numbers as one of the other sets.

Right, that's the birthday problem.

It evens out on expected payout. There is a chance on 10,000 sequential plays that you win the lottery 10,000 times.
