scratch-off tickets

Coin-revealed prize games

Scratch-off tickets are a form of lottery where players reveal potential prizes by scratching away an opaque coating, usually with a coin or fingernail.

The tickets are sold at convenience stores and gas stations, offering instant results rather than waiting for a drawing.

Also called scratch cards or scratchers: He buys scratch-off tickets every payday.
