How Do Scratch Offs Work?

What is a scratch off card?
A scratch off card is a card or ticket with a special scratch off coating over a hidden area. You scratch the coating away with a coin or scratcher chip to reveal a message, prize, or game result underneath.
How does the scratch off coating work?
The scratch off coating is a latex-based material applied over a printed area. It adheres firmly until scratched, to reveal what's underneath.
What do I use to scratch off the coating?
Use a coin or scratcher chip for best results. Do not use fingernails, as they may not remove the coating cleanly or not at all.
