How to get Prize Tickets in Stardew Valley

Prize Tickets are gained through completing select objectives within the game. Thankfully, there isn’t any RNG involved when it comes to getting them, butꦅ every method relies on either skill or effort.

One guaranteed Prize Ticket can be found in a box behind t﷽he stump located at the back of the spot wh♐ere the Bookseller sets up shop every two weeks. This is a one time thing, though, so once you’ve picked it up you won’t be able to get it again. 

Theꦗ easiest way to get Prize Tickets is by completing relevant quests from the board outside Pierre’s. You’ll know whether you will be awarded a Prize Ticket for any of the quests, because a red ticket will be displayed in the bottom corner of the request. You can also complete any of the Special Orders from the board outside Mayor Lewis’ house, as these are guaranteed to provide one ticket per completed order.

If you want to get your hands on a stack of Prize Tickets, your best bet is to grind out Star Tokens during the Stardew Valley Fair. Here, you can purchase Prize T💜ickets for 1,000 Star Tokens each.

There are also three other events which reward Pꦿrize Tickets:

• Spirits Eve
  • Obtained by opening up the chest at the end of the maze every other year
• Ice Festival and Egg Festival
  • Rewarded for repeated wins
