Abstract
A scraper for precisely scraping a row of covering off a typical lottery game scratch ticket that has rows of game-determining indicia hidden by the removable covering. The scraper has a main body with an arcuate protruding appendage that has a blunt front end. In one embodiment, the rear end of the main body has bristles for brushing off ticket scrapings. In another embodiment, the scraper has a clip for storing winning tickets as well as the scraper itself. In yet another embodiment, the scraper has two or three appendages spaced apart so as to accurately scrape off the covering of the rows of game-determining indicia.
