The one who pulls out the ticket returns for the prize (6)
I believe the answer is:
reward
'the prize' is the definition.
(a prize may be given as a reward)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reward that I've seen before include "Sum of money offered" , "'Virtue is its own . . . . . .'" , "Pay" , "Recompense for worthy act" , "Bounty; recompense" .)
