BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The idea is to present an opportunity to sell State Lottery
Scratch off Tickets as a novelty gift item called "Scratch That
Gift". This benefits the purchasers of my idea in two ways. First
it offers an opportunity to sell the scat off tickets in bulk using
various monetary denominations (ex $10, $25, $50, etc.). It also
serves as a Point of Sale (Marketing) item that can be used to
promote different holidays or occasions and highlight and/or
promote new scratch off games.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The advantage of Scratch that Gift is it offers the Buyers
the opportunity to sell more scratch off tickets by offering them
in bulk (multi-ticket purchase) via a gift item. The items can be
secured in sealed gift cans or wrapped mugs, baskets and other gift
packaging. Scratch That Gift has two advantages for States and
Vendors involved in selling scratch off tickets. It is a novelty
gift that can be sold anyplace Lottery scratch off tickets are sold
and offers the added bonus of including sales over the Internet,
perhaps by Internet entities who already sell gift items, where
state laws permit. This offers the vendors of the State lotteries
an opportunity to sell more also thereby offering them the
opportunity to increase revenues. Second it can be placed by State
lottery ages into vendor locations that already carry Lottery
Scratch off tickets. Since these vendor's already carry the tickets
there are no marketing questions such as "Who do we sell this too?"
The customer base is already in place. It offers a potential
increase in revenues and gives them the opportunity to die the
image of Scratch off tickets as being a single item purchase.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The idea is to present the scratch off tickets as a novelty
gift. These are to be sealed or wrapped and can be decorated to
reflect different holidays and or occasions. Scratch that Gift can
then be sold as a bulk (multi-ticket) purchase item instead of a
single purchase ticket. Businesses and State Lottery Commissions
already carry Scratch Off Tickets so this would server as an
expansion of their product line. The materials to be used for the
different gift packages are: [0007] Sealed gift cans* [0008]
wrapped mugs [0009] wrapped baskets* [0010] sealed gift boxes*
[0011] gift bags [0012] Various Sizes and Material Types
[0013] The idea is unique in that the items are sealed and/or
wrapped this presents a security feature in that the tickets are
not easily exposed. Promotions can be used to feature various gift
giving occasion(s) for the scratch off games. As a novelty item
Scratch that Gift can be offered by anyone with Internet presence
allowing the vendor to expand their product line, in conjunction
with benefiting the different State lottery agencies that
participate, since vendors would sell these tickets in bulk (ex.
$10, $25, $50 increments) the opportunity for greater commissions
exists. For Internet vendors that sell Scratch that Gift (pursuant
to becoming State lottery agents) the profits are immediate since
tickets are often provided by State Lotteries on consignment.
Scratch that Gift presents the opportunity to have decorated and
themed gift packaging for any holiday or occasion. The different
external packaging can be generic or customized. This also presents
the opportunity to make the packaging fun.
