Abstract
Gaming devices dispense tickets which are unrelated to a player'"'"'s success on a particular game played on a gaming device or to the player'"'"'s credits on a credit meter or other “cash out” indicator. The gaming devices provide gaming awards, and also provide tickets. Other methods provide tickets during the play of wagering games. Still other embodiments comprise lottery terminals which dispense tickets other than those purchased by a lottery patron or won on a purchased lottery ticket.
