Yes — New York scratch tickets and New York scratch-offs are the same thing: a paper lottery ticket you scratch to reveal whether it wins. The New York Lottery lists them under "Scratch-Off Games" on its own site. "Scratch Tickets" is simply what most players in New York 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.
