The traditional Scratch Card which is also known as a Scratch-Off, Scratch Ticket, Scratcher, Scratch Game or Scratch-It is a small token or square usually made from cardboard. There is a grid printed on the cardboard which is concealed by a special material that can be scratched off. Printed in each of the grids are numbers or symbols. The idea of the game is to get three of the same numbers or symbols in a row in order to win the big prize, by scratching off three adjacent squares.

The first instant win scratch card was devised in 1974 it was called The Instant Game and was printed by a company called the Dittley Brothers Lottery Division. It was used by the Massachusetts State lottery to raise money for the local Government and as something like it had never been seen before it proved very successful.
