Abstract
Blank tickets, for use in an instant lottery game or the like, can be imprinted in a secure manner in an enclosed point of sale ticket-issuing apparatus under the control of a central computer. Prior to exposure of the ticket, an adhesive-backed sheet with a scratch-off material coating on areas aligned with the printing is applied to the surface of the ticket. The adhesive will cause obvious damage to the ticket to void same if an attempt is made to remove the label.
