Solution, FAQ and sources

Solution

Fold the ticket so the two rows of numbers lie on top of each other. Together they form letters that spell out **FOR FOLSENSE**. One gap in those letters can only be filled by a **2**, so that's the missing number. (This relies on the ticket image; two independent sources agree on 2.)
