What happens to a golden ticket if the recipient fails to use it in the first 12 months?

The golden ticket is designed to hold a specific value and time sensitivity associated with its use. If the recipient does not utilize the golden ticket within the first 12 months, it is programmed to expire. This is to ensure that the benefits or opportunities tied to the golden ticket are utilized in a timely manner.

The notion that it becomes a silver ticket is incorrect because there is no provision for automatic conversion or reclassification of tickets after their designated period. Instead, tickets are typically designed to stand alone with clear expiration dates, which enforces the importance of acting on the opportunity within the provided time frame.
