-
- No Purchase Necessary: Players get digital scratch cards, often free through a business via a text message, email, or QR code.

- Reveal Mechanism: Players can “scratch” the card by swiping on the covered area, which uncovers a prize, symbols, or numbers underneath.
-
- Winning Combinations: Once revealed, the game checks for winning combinations based on preset rules (like matching symbols or hitting specific numbers) or an image of the prize won.
