Abstract:
A scratch-off lottery ticket and associated production method are provided wherein a primer material is applied as a dried layer to a front face of a ticket substrate. Game play indicia is printed on the primer layer in a designated game play area, and a scratch-off layer is applied over the game play indicia. The primer layer includes a particulate luminescent material homogeneously dispersed throughout, wherein the particulate luminescent material has a particle size and additive amount relative to the primer layer such that the particulate luminescent material does not add processing or material drying time to application of the primer layer. Fraudulent attempts to remove the scratch-off layer to reveal the underlying play indicia are rendered optically apparent by luminescence of the particulate luminescent material upon subsequent excitation of the play area with an excitation source.

Claim (Index 25):
A method for producing lottery tickets in a continuous printing press, comprising:\n supplying a continuous substrate through the printing press, the substrate having a front face and a back face; printing one or more primer material layers onto the front face, wherein the primer material includes a particulate luminescent material homogeneously dispersed throughout, the particulate luminescent material having a particle size between  7  and  12  microns and additive amount of between 1.8 to 2.2% solids level of the primer layer, wherein the particulate luminescent particle size and additive amount are selected such that the particulate luminescent material does not add processing or material drying time to the primer layer as compared to the primer layer without the particulate luminescent material; printing game play indicia onto an upper one of the primer material layers in a game play area of the ticket; printing a release layer over the game play indicia; and printing one or more scratch-off material layers over the game play indicia.
