Scratch ‘Em

Story Behind the Invention

Everyone who plays the lottery knows the scramble. You’re standing at the counter, ticket in hand, and now you need something to scratch with. You dig for a coin wrong side, too bulky, slips. You try a key too sharp, gouges through the ticket. You try your fingernail unreliable at best, and nobody wants to damage a ticket that might be worth something. It’s a small frustration, but it happens every single time.

The inventor behind Scratch ‘Em decided there had to be a purpose-built solution. Not a workaround. A tool designed from the ground up to scratch a lottery ticket cleanly, smoothly, and without defacing it because a defaced ticket can cause real problems at the point of redemption.

But a single-purpose scratcher that just sits in a drawer solves nothing. For a tool to earn its place in someone’s life, it has to earn its keep every day not just on lottery day. So the inventor built something bigger.

Scratch ‘Em is a four-in-one everyday carry tool. It clips to your keychain, so it is always exactly where you need it. The built-in scratcher handles lottery tickets the way they were meant to be handled cleanly and completely. A bottle opener handles everything from glass bottles to the end of a long day. An LED light is ready when the power goes out, the parking lot is dark, or you just need to see something clearly. Four functions. One compact tool. Always on your keys.

The design carries a four-leaf clover a nod to the luck that lottery players are always chasing. The name SCRATCH ‘EM appears on both sides, because this tool is proud to be exactly what it says it is.

With a design patent issued by the USPTO (Patent No. US D1090024S), Scratch ‘Em is fully protected and ready for the manufacturers and retailers who serve the millions of lottery players looking for something better than a coin.
