What is a "bet ticket"? </ignorance>

[mwyounce]

That's the slip that you fill in the little bubbles on to show what numbers you want to pick for the ticket.

Well it all depends on how they are interpreting what she told them but you can either buy tickets in advance (which is not what she did) or you can fill out a card with your combination selections (up to 10) and just keep using that whenever you play. I believe that this is what she did.

Oddly enough I've even seen plastic sleeves given away as promotional items that you can use to house the bet ticket (or card) to keep it from getting messed up and becoming unreadable by the machines.
