I think when it says "No purchase necessary", you are not actually paying money for the ticket. Like a lottery ticket, would be "Purchase Necessary". Where a game ticket like this or ones that come off of the cups at Burger King or Mc Donalds, there isn't a Purchase for the ticket, it basically comes free with the drink or meal.
At least, that is how I think of it.

This guy got it dead on the head. I also wanted to add, the 17 and up stipulation is pretty well standard for all sweepstakes, it doesn't necessarily mean anything about M rated games etc in the future.
I want to officially throw this out here, so that people can quit worrying/asking/salivating over it:
There is not one single thing, including the stickers, which I would ever sell from my swag bag, period, end of story, discussion done, 10-4 over and out. Including the golden ticket.
Just for a little perspective, and maybe something that's been overlooked here--I bought the swag bag not because of the chance for something extraordinary, but for the chance to show support for The Bungie Foundation, and for the immense generosity of the gaming community.
These were for charity, and if some people got incredibly awesome swag, that's great, but none of us should have ever expected anything other than thirty bucks worth of a chance to help out children in crappy circumstances. I am deeply grateful that I was one lucky wench with this swag bag, but I was thrilled with it even before I opened that folder and saw what was inside. What made me happy was being able to belong to a community that gets important things done, not how cool or rare the items in the bag were. If that makes some of you think of me as less hardcore of a fan, well so be it. My loyalty is to the gaming community as a whole, and then to the companies and groups like Bungie, Penny Arcade, and Rooster Teeth who make it so personally enjoyable. I might be naive, but I think if more of us wanted to make a difference, we'd move mountains with our might.
well said! props! and this whole golden ticket thing is really interesting. Cant wait to see what the prize is!
