Whew. I'm only going for 99.5%, which according to your other comment is doable!... But impractical

99.5% would still be e^200 numbers checked (7x10^86). According to the Quora link in my other comment, we've only calculated primes in sequence up to 4x10^18 as of 7 years ago. 95% is very doable though.

Edited to correct first N primes vs primes up to N.

Incredible amounts of numbers. Crazy.
