If you are talking about a simple lottery with N tickets and a fixed probability of any one ticket being the winner = 1/N, then the screamers were correct. To see this, imagine that there are a total of two tickets (N = 2). You buy one ticket. The probability that it is the winner = 1/2. After buying the second ticket, is your probability of winning somehow > 1? Or has it exactly doubled?
