Not a puzzle as such, but how do you manage
to remove the covering without obliterating
the prize beneath?

Ah! understand now. Try using a twenty pence piece gently.

In a previous post, it was suggested that the card may have become damp and that heating it with a hair dryer might help to "dry out" the silver coating - making it easier to rub off.

I was so fed up with the quality of the covering of the scratchcard - rubbing too lightly and nothing happened, rubbing a bit harder and you went through to the base of the card that it went in the bin as have subsequent cards.

Therein lies the rub!
