scratch card

Coin-revealed prize game

A scratch card is a ticket with a concealed area that reveals whether you've won a prize when scratched off with a fingernail or coin.

Typically sold at convenience stores and lottery outlets, scratch cards offer instant results: I won twenty dollars on a scratch card.

Also called a scratcher or scratch-off.
