That's not how it works. Two 1 in a million tickets gives you two 1 in a million chances.

You divide the number of tickets you bought by the total number of combinations of numbers.

Talking just about the grand prize for matching all the numbers, of course it is how it works (unless you bought the same numbers twice).
You might thinking of the case of buying one ticket each in two different weeks.
