Break open tickets are instant-win lottery tickets which are made of cardboard and have perforated cover window tabs. The game is played by tearing off the cover tabs to reveal the symbols underneath. Other types of break open ticket games include seal card games and bingo event tickets. Break open tickets are also known as "Nevada tickets" or "pull tabs".

In the Municipality of Central Huron, Break Open Tickets cannot be conducted in conjunction with another licensed gaming event and tickets must be sold within Central Huron.
