- For the replacement of the Castle scratch ticket, see: Spin Wheel
The Scratch Ticket is one of the mini-games in My Singing Monsters. The Scratch games first appeared in version 1.1.3. There is currently one type of Scratch Ticket involving the Nurseries, but there used to be one involving the Castles. Every week, users can receive one free Scratch Ticket for the Nursery, and they used to be able to receive a Castle Scratch Ticket every 24 hours. The tickets are available on the five Natural Islands (Plant, Cold, Air, Water, Earth) and their Mirror counterparts, as well as the two Fire Islands and the four Magical Islands (Haven, Oasis, Light, Psychic, Faerie, Bone). The Castle Ticket was also available on Shugabush and Ethereal Islands. Players can purchase additional tickets with Diamonds. The tickets are a typical scratch card game. There are six boxes to scratch and each box will reveal a different prize. Once three boxes reveal the same prize, you win that prize. All tickets are winners, i.e. they always guaranteed one prize.
Nursery Ticket[]
Scratch Ticket Icon indicating free ticket available.
This Scratch Ticket gives you a free Egg when you match three eggs of the same Monster. This ticket can only be obtained by selecting a Nursery on an island it is available on. The Nursery must not be in use. It is not available for the Nurseries on Shugabush Island, Ethereal Island, the Colossingum, Magical Sanctum, Mythical Island or Amber Island. Selecting the Scratch icon will start the game. A red exclamation point on the icon indicates that a free ticket is available. Once a Monster egg is won and collected, it goes to the Island's Nursery and is immediately ready to hatch and be placed without the usual incubation wait time.
Additional tickets may be purchased for 10 
each. This can be done either by pressing the "replay" button immediately after collecting the egg or by selecting a Nursery at a later time.

Nursery Scratch - Version 2.0.4
.png){kind=link}
Nursery Scratch - Version 4.5
On March 31st 2017, 17 days after the release of 2.0.4, Eggs-Travaganza began and the tickets were temporarily changed to one free ticket every 24 hours (same as the Castle) instead of once per week. The cost of additional tickets was also temporarily decreased from 10 to 5 .
Several weeks later after that, the ticket time is changed to once per week, rather than after every 24 hours. Several weeks after that, it now returns back to 10 .
The same change was applied during Eggs-Travaganza 2018 from March 14th 2018 to April 9th 2018, and every Eggs-Travaganza Season after.
During an unknown update, the close button was removed for unknown reasons. It could be likely to decentivize players from going to other Islands to change what Monster they got. The same 'rarity' of Monster was the same across islands, so a Potbelly on Plant Island would turn into a Tweedle on Air Island. The same would be the same for rarer Monsters like Seasonals- which makes it likely that the developers would want to close this exploit.
In Version 4.2.0, the Scratch Ticket started including Aux. Seasonals as Top Prizes.
Game Play and Prizes[]
The specific Monsters available depend on the Island where the ticket is being played. For example, if you play the game on Cold Island, you will not get any monsters with the Earth element.
| Rarity | Monsters |
|---|---|
| Common | Single Element Monsters |
| Uncommon | Double Element Monsters |
| Rare | Triple and Quad Element Monsters |
| Very Rare | Seasonal Monsters |
Winning Single Element Monsters is much more common than Monsters with multiple elements. The top prizes are monsters with four elements and Monsters which were only available for limited time periods. It is possible to get a Seasonal Monster at any time of year with the Scratch Ticket, though it is very rare. During the Blabbit Season (Eggs-Travaganza), it is possible to win Rare and Epic Monsters in the Nursery scratch.
Castle Ticket[]
Scratch Ticket Icon indicating free ticket available.
This ticket could be obtained by selecting one of the Castles. The Castle must not be in the process of being upgraded. Selecting the Scratch icon would start the game. A red exclamation point on the icon indicated that a free ticket was available.
Once the free tickets were used, additional tickets could be purchased for 2 each. This could be done by either pressing the "replay" button immediately after collecting the winnings or by selecting a Castle and then tapping its Scratch icon at a later time.
Older Castle Scratch - Version 1.1.x
History[]
Version 1.3.3 change
Beginning in Version 1.3.3, it was possible to prevent Scratch Tickets from appearing immediately upon login by un-checking a box on the Scratch Ticket itself. The automatic appearance at login started sometime around Version 1.3.1.
Castle Scratch - Version 2.0.4
Between Version 1.4.0 and Version 2.0.3, the prize amount could be doubled by watching a video advertisement. A pop-up of "Increase reward! Watch a video and collect 2 times more?" would appear after pressing the collect button. It was possible to earn 1000 extra diamonds just for watching one video! As of Version 2.0.4, Keys and Relics are also available as Scratch Ticket prizes. Another change to the castle ticket was instead of the option to double your winnings by watching a video advertisement, you now get an additional ticket for watching the video.
Game Play and Prizes[]
Version 2.0.4 to Version 2.1.7[]
Like the previous version, Coins and Food were the most common prizes. The new currencies added were Relics and Keys.
As of Version 2.1.8, the Castle Scratch Ticket was replaced with the Spin Wheel.
The following prize numbers were taken from the game's data. These are the "base values". The Coin and Food rewards scale up as the player's level increases. The current table of probabilities was updated by BBB at 15.03.2017.

Just like in previous versions, attempting to wait for next day's Scratch Ticket if not happy about it would not change the prize of the ticket, as the ticket data comes from the server and not the device. Attempting to change the device's clock will confuse the game and cause it to not work temporarily.
Prior to Version 2.0.4[]
Every ticket yields a prize, but it is usually (about 90% of the time) low-value. Smaller rewards are much more likely than bigger ones. In addition, Coins and Food are much more likely rewards than Diamonds in the Castle scratch game.
The following prize numbers were taken from the game's scratch-data.dat file. These are the "base values". The Coin and Food rewards scale up as the player's level increases.
| Rarity | Prize | # Prizes out of Total | Probability |

Notes[]
- Coin and Food prizes increased with higher player levels. Other prizes don't change.
- With the initial release of 2.0.4, choosing the option to watch a video for an additional Castle Scratch Ticket caused a forfeiture of the winnings from the first ticket with only the winnings from the second ticket being received. By April 3rd, 2017, this was changed so that the player collected the winnings from both tickets. It is likely that it is made deliberate to benefit the player.
- Another mini-game is the Memory Game.
- Though the Castle Scratch Ticket has been removed from the game, the image that indicated a scratch ticket's availability is now used for the Spin Wheel.
