It's just a thin covering of Latex!

There are two methods used to make the protective coating applied to a lottery ticket. One method uses a heavy-coverage ultraviolet-sensitive ink (varnish). A layer of ink is applied to the area on the ticket to be covered, then it passes through a UV curing stage. This is repeated several times to make a suitably thick coating. The varnish is designed to cure somewhat soft, so that it can be removed by scratching. This process is performed at the production speed of a multi-colour printing press - thousands per minute. When some form of pattern or variety of colour is desired, a thin layer of foil is used instead. The foil hides the ticket contents somewhat better than the varnish, but is more costly to use.

The material on scratch cards and lottery tickets is a latex ink. To properly apply this ink to a printed material you need a non-porous surface like enamel paper. This paper must then be coated with a release coating of varnish. After a release coating has be applied the scratch off material is then applied. Different processes take from 1 to 11 coats depending upon desired design, colors, and opacity for security. This material can be applied with an offset printing press, flexo, or using a silk screen process. One of the largest provider of scratch off cards in the world is ImpactWorldwide.com.
