Claim 0:
1. A lottery ticket comprising:
a substrate having opposing side edges and opposing end edges;
first variable indicia printed on a first area of the substrate, the first variable indicia comprising a plurality of different component colors printed by a printer;
second variable indicia printed on a second area of the substrate adjacent to the first variable indicia, the second variable indicia comprising the plurality different component colors except for a first one of the component colors of the plurality of different component colors due to a component color printing error by the printer;
a first background printed on the substrate in a third area of the substrate adjacent to the first variable indicia and extending outside a border of the first area, the third area being in a first straight line on the substrate with the first area, the first straight line being parallel to the side edges of the substrate, the first background comprising: (a) the plurality of different component colors, and (b) an additional component color not present in the first variable indicia or the second variable indicia, wherein the additional component color is different than each of the plurality of different component colors, wherein the plurality of different component colors and the additional component are configured to form background artwork in the third area, wherein for each of the different component colors of the first variable indicia, the first background comprises a same corresponding component color printed by the printer at a saturation level of at least 5%;
a second background partially printed on the substrate in a fourth area on the substrate adjacent to the first background and adjacent to the second area and extending outside a border of the second area, the fourth area being in a second straight line on the substrate with the second area, the second straight line being parallel to the side edges of the substrate, the second background comprising: (a) the plurality of different component colors except for the first component color due to the same component color printing error by the printer, and (b) the additional component color not present within the first variable indica or the second variable indicia, wherein the plurality of different component colors and the additional component color are configured to form background artwork in the fourth area, wherein the component color printing error is a continuous component color printing error caused by the printer for the second variable indicia and the second background; and
a scratch-off coating covering the first variable indicia and the second variable indicia;
wherein the second background is not covered by any scratch-off coating.
