1. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor following a database of a gaming establishment ticketing system storing data associated with a ticket voucher, cause the processor to:
receive ticket voucher data communicated from a mobile device, the ticket voucher data being associated with a first type of information printed on the ticket voucher,
independent of the receipt of the first type of information printed on the ticket voucher, receive authentication data communicated from the mobile device, and
responsive to a determination, made in association with the database of the gaming establishment ticketing system, that the received authentication data and the received ticket voucher data are each associated with the ticket voucher, communicate data that results in a modification, based on an amount of funds associated with the ticket voucher, of an available balance associated with a debit card.
