<P> A scratchcard (also called a scratch off, scratch ticket, scratcher, scratchie, scratch - it, scratch game, scratch - and - win, instant game or instant lottery in different places) is a small card, often made of thin paper - based card for competitions and plastic to conceal PINs, where one or more areas contain concealed information which can be revealed by scratching off an opaque covering . </P> <P> Applications include cards sold for gambling (especially lottery games and quizzes), free - of - charge cards for quizzes, fraudulent free cards encouraging calls to premium rate phone services, and to conceal confidential information such as PINs for telephone calling cards and other prepaid services . </P> <P> In some cases the entire scratchable area needs to be scratched to see whether a prize has been won--the card is printed either to be a winner or not--or to reveal the secret code; the result does not depend upon what portions are scratched off . In other cases, some but not all areas have to be scratched; this may apply in a quiz, where the area corresponding to the right answer is scratched, or in some gambling applications where, depending on which areas are scratched, the card wins or loses . In these cases the card becomes invalid if too many areas are scratched . After losing one can scratch all areas to see if, how, and what one could have won with this card . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> (hide) This section has multiple issues .
