In January, the New York Lottery is dropping the new Xtreme Multiplier Series of Scratch-Off Games. And these are no ordinary single ticket Scratch-Offs. Each has the power to … read moremultiply winnings up to 100x. With a top prize of $5,000,000. So, to bring this to life, McCann New York and the New York Lottery found a fun and unique way to show how passionate our players are for these multiplier tickets and the lengths they will go to scratch them all. Because, that is a lot of power in one person’s hands. And sometimes that power can make us do weird things. This notion led to the “More Winnings Could Be In Your Hands” campaign. The star of this campaign is a man who gets his own “Xtreme” idea. Much to his wife’s utter shock and dismay, he decides to build a contraption of makeshift hands - made from randomly scavenged household items - all to scratch multiple tickets at once. He fashions a B-movie style robot arm out of a blow-dryer, desk lamp, and confusingly, a cheese grater. One arm is haphazardly constructed from unwieldy scraps of wood. One looks like it’s somehow from the Industrial Revolution. And of course, there’s a tiny, delicate hand attached to a really long tweed arm, for all his detail work. Does it make sense? No. But neither did standing in a lightning storm with a kite, now did it? With the Xtreme Multiplier Series, you don’t need to go to these extreme lengths, because the winnings multiply themselves. Plus, you could just scratch them one at a time. This film was brought to life by the capable hands of Vedran Rupic and the world-famous, and dexterous, puppeteering hands of Legacy Effects. The campaign comes on the heels of McCann New York’s latest work for the New York Lottery which includes Giving is in the Air for the holidays, HGTV’s My Lottery Dream Home and Picture a Win which used AI to help players picture their jackpot fantasies.
