PERSON NUMBER 72 WILL GET BOTHA FREE TICKET & A T SHIRT.
9+9=18+9=27+9=36+9=45+9=54+9=63+9=72
24+24=48+24=72 THE FIRST MATCH.

:
Wouldn't it be the first number that is a multiple 9 and 24?
:
9 * 24 = 216 would be one, but is it the first one?
:
No, 72 would be the first one, 72 divided by 24 = 3. A prime number, it's the lowest.
