pull tab

Soda can feature

A pull tab is the small metal lever on a beverage can that you lift to open it.

The tab may detach completely or stay attached to the can.

Pull tab also refers to a type of lottery ticket with perforated paper tabs you pull back to reveal symbols: I bought a few pull tabs at the bar.
