This question is stupid. Don't worry about it.

(The OA assumes that 50% of the tickets are winning tickets and 50% are losing tickets, not that each ticket has a 50% chance of winning.)

My reasoning is as follows:

If each ticket has 50% chance of win, then
the probability the first one wins is 50% and so its the second one.

The probability that no one wins is as follows:
first one does not win AND second one does not win

1/2 * 1/2
= 1/4

And the probability that at least one wins is
1 - (both not wins)
1 - 1/4
3/4 <-- my answer
