I set up a wallet with a website.  Isn't that considered my bitcoin address?

No, Bitcoin addresses take the form of a public key consisting of 34 characters and beginning with "1", q.v. the addresses in my .sig below.

Webwallets normally offer a "deposit" option which will show the deposit address of the wallet. HTH.

OK, I went to the "scratch and win" BC site.  In order to play, you need to enter your BC address.  It says invalid.  So if my bC wallet is NOT my address then how do I get one?

That will really depend on what website you setup your wallet with.

You probably would have gotten faster and more useful help if you would have mentioned what website you used to set up your wallet.  Glad to hear you figured it out.
