Sorry guys, you don't need to check your tickets, because mine was the winner.
(That would have been me had I bought a ticket)

If there were 10,000 tickets sold in Calgary, he had a 1:10,000 chance of having the winning ticket. Since he knows someone that had a losing ticket, his odds increased to 1:9,999

Really? I think I'd be okay with my sleep being ruined because I was excited about winning ten million dollars. I wouldn't be going to work the next day anyways.

His odds would remain the same regardless of any of those facts though would they not? He doesn't stand a better chance now relative to two days ago.

The odds were 1:28M a couple days ago. Now we know for a fact that someone won in Calgary. Say there were 30M sold nationally, and 3M in Alberta. He bought one of those tickets. There are 3M in AB so he has 1:3M chance of owning the winning ticket. Let's eliminate 2M tickets in AB that were sold because they weren't in Calgary. So he now has a 1:1M chance. He knows 25 people who all bought four tickets. So you can eliminate 100 tickets. His odds are now 1:999,900.
That's the way I interpret it at least.

Now that there is a ticket that has won the probability that he has the winning ticket is either 0 or 1. It can be nothing in between.

I haven't checked mine, and probably won't for a few days more so I can continue to fantasize about what I'd do with my winnings.
