That would be reported under "Gambling Winnings". I'd expect that you will receive a W-2G since the W-2G instructions read:

"File Form W-2G for each person to whom you pay $600 or more in gambling winnings from a sweepstakes, wagering pool, or lottery (including a state-conducted lottery) if the winnings are at least 300 times the amount of the wager."

I assume your scratcher would fall under this rule.
