Oh, I didn't understand it that way. If your purse was to be 2,000 then you would get say 1,000 in cash and 1,000 worth of tickets that you had sell to get the remiander of your money. That's the way they make it sound...

If you get the full purse in cash and are given tickets to make extra then that's fine.
