Abstract
A game ticket system to be played in conjunction with a live action game, and a method of using the game ticket system. The game ticket system includes a plurality of game tickets having one or more play results, where some tickets indicate fixed play results and some indicate a hold play, and where a hold play identifies a result from a live action game. The game ticket system is used by distributing the tickets to players, revealing to the players the results of the game tickets, playing a live action game, and determining if any player holds a ticket with a hold play result which matches some result of the live action game.
