Abstract
A lottery ticket having a substrate layer with game data printed in a game area and an opaque scratch-off layer applied over game area is modified by the addition of an patterned holographic metallized layer applied over the substrate which has different patterns for a series of the tickets and which is arranged to have an appearance associated with game information printed over the metallized. The printing is carried out by optically analyzing the patterns and longitudinally registering the material printed onto the metallized with the pattern in the metallized.
