scratch offs

Coin-revealed prize cards

Scratch offs are lottery tickets with a coating you scratch away to reveal whether you've won.

The prizes and odds vary, from small cash amounts to substantial jackpots.

They're sold at convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores, often displayed near the register: He spends twenty bucks a week on scratch offs.

Also spelled scratch-offs.
