Bonus Tickets and Alphabetical Use ?

If a player has multiple tickets that start with the designated prefix, the first one found alphabetically will be used
Can you please clarify for me how this will work if a player has two tickets with the same prefix ... one is BONUS100 and one is BONUS500.

I assume BONUS100 will be used first and then BONUS500, then BONUS1000, etc. Correct?

Thanks and sorry I'm stupid. ;)

No, those three would sort in ascending order as follows:

BONUS100
BONUS1000
BONUS500

Because alphabetical sorting is character by character. If you want numeric sorting, insert some leading zeros:

BONUS0100
BONUS0500
BONUS1000
