He is dead until confirmed otherwise.

The fact that he said "that i may return" opens the possibility, but doesnt confirm or gives a 100% chance of anything.

If someone buys a lottery ticket, he may win.

Should we assume then that everyone who buys a ticket will win?

No, thats not how it works. He "may" return, but until he does, he is completely dead.
