Having the limit is needed, so members don't go spamming that section just for tickets. It also allows other members to post any freebies they find, instead of a member posting the majority. Not only this, but lottery tickets given out cost the site so not having a limit could be costly for the site supplying all those tickets.

Why waste time putting in effort, checking for duplicates, or typing a write-up about expiration dates or rules if nobody else cared?
