9,543 PointsInfinite Loop!! Help Please!
When I run my code I get an infinite loop that says, There are 100 tickets remaining. I have checked my code and it matches Craigs. Can somebody please tell me what I am missing?

In your conditional that asks if the user wants to proceed, double check that you have tickets_remaining -= num_tickets
If you don't have the minus sign before the equal sign, you're never going to have tickets_remaining go below 1, so the loop will never end.
