Is the Ticket Worth It?

Daily PokeStop spins yield approximately 28 extra incubators, valued at roughly $4.20 USD. This nearly matches the ticket price, excluding additional bonuses. The ticket offers excellent value if you regularly purchase incubators or prioritize egg hatching. The extra gifts and XP are added benefits. However, if egg hatching isn't a priority, or if weather limits playtime, the ticket's value diminishes unless gift sending/receiving is a key gameplay element.
