Marty invented lotto ticket scrapers in 1983. She has a patent on a 4-leafed clover shaped scraper. The long-standing joke in the family, is who was going to inherit the 10,000 scrapers–that she never really sold after manufacturing. She’d hired a friend of the family to design the POP (point-of-purchase) box to each hold 500 scrapers, as well as he designed the scraper prototype, which she had manufactured by a local company. They sat in our garage attic for over 35 years.
