Use a Coin or Scratcher
When scratching off a ticket, it’s a good idea to use a coin or a plastic scratcher tool instead of your fingernails. A coin or scratcher tool can help you scratch off the ticket more cleanly and precisely, reducing the risk of accidentally damaging it or scratching off important information. Damaging the ticket could result in difficulties when claiming your prize. Using a tool also keeps your fingers clean and prevents smudging or obscuring the symbols and numbers on the ticket.
