 Any account can create and use Tickets on any type of transaction. However, some restrictions apply:
 
-- Each Ticket can only be used once. It is possible to have multiple different candidate transactions
+- Each Ticket can only be used once. It is possible to have multiple different candidate transactions that would use the same Ticket Sequence, but only one of those candidates can be validated by consensus.
 - Each account cannot have more than 250 Tickets in the ledger at a time. Therefore, you cannot create more than 250 Tickets at a time, either.
 - You _can_ use a Ticket to create more Tickets. If you do, the Ticket you used does not count towards the total number of Tickets you can have at once.
 - Each Ticket counts toward the [owner reserve](reserves.html), so you must set aside 5 XRP for each Ticket you have not used yet. The XRP becomes available for you to use again after the Ticket is used.

+If the transaction cannot create _all_ of the requested Tickets (either due to the 250-Ticket limit or the [owner reserve](reserves.html)), it fails and creates no Tickets. To look up how many Tickets an account currently owns, use the [account_info method][] and check the `account_data.TicketCount` field.
 
 **Tip:** This transaction increases the sending account's [sequence number][Sequence Number] by the number of tickets created (`TicketCount`). This is the only transaction that increases an account's sequence number by more than 1.
