Yes — California scratchers and California scratch-offs are the same thing: a paper lottery ticket you scratch to reveal whether it wins. The California Lottery lists them under "Scratchers" on its own site. "Scratchers" is simply what most players in California call them, while "scratch-off" and "scratch ticket" are the terms used in other states. Every game ranked on this page is the same physical ticket, whichever name you use for it.

California Dreamin', a $5 California scratcher, was released on Jun 23, 2025 by the California Lottery.
