I don't think it matters in the end...it was all in Charlie's head. It just so happens that Charlie finds a ticket right as we learn the fifth was forged? Yeah, right. His grandpa is bedridden, but now he is not only well enough to take Charlie to the factory, but he can dance around the room? Nope.
Charlie was depressed and needed an escape. He hated the actual kids who won, so in his fantasy they all died and he got to take over the factory.
