Then they can go around the tables dropping as many tickets in the brown bags as they want. Maybe in only one or two, or they might drop a ticket in each bag. When all have finished doing this. You take each bag, shake it up so tickets are mixed and draw a name. That person is the winner of that group of treasures.
