scratcher
Coin-revealed lottery game
A scratcher is something or someone that scratches.
Most commonly it refers to a device for scratching an itch—a back scratcher with its long handle, or a post for cats to claw.
Scratcher also means a scratch-off lottery ticket: I bought a few scratchers at the gas station.
In tattoo culture, a scratcher is an amateur who works without proper training or sanitation, often from home—the term is derogatory among professionals.
