The second value is calculated as you enter the number of the lottery tickets in the Tickets in Pack field. Select the second value if the first ticket is on bottom of the pack.
Pack Cost	Enter the cost of the entire pack. The value in this field is calculated automatically in case the value in the Unit Cost field is entered.
