The first product sold by the Iowa Lottery was an instant-scratch game called 'Scratch, Match & Win' that debuted in August 1985. Iowans purchased more than 28.1 million tickets by the end of that game. Now the Iowa Lottery offers new instant games almost every month. Scratchers games are easy to play and instructions are printed right on the ticket! A Scratchers game is played by scratching a layer away from the ticket to reveal a series of numbers or symbols and their corresponding prizes. Scratchers start at just $1 and some have prizes in the millions! Top Prizes Remaining.
