The odds you don't are 8191/8192 with each draw

Doesn't matter, there is an endless amount, the probability doesn't change.

1-(8191/8192)^8192 = .6321 = 1-.3679 = 1-1/e

What in the equation would change, if say, you drew 10,000 spheres instead?

Just change the "^8192" to "^10000" and follow the steps
