While typically players purchase Scratchers for themselves, many players find they make great gifts for any holiday occasion. Available in more than 1,100 locations, they can be used to fill cards, stockings, or office “in-boxes.”
Last year, New Mexico player Emerson Charley of Shiprock purchased four “Jackpot Party” Scratchers for gifts. Then, just two days before Christmas, he played them and won $50,000! What a great way to “wrap up” his holiday shopping!
