The National Lottery this week launched its pounds 2-per-play,
pounds 1m jackpot Millionaire scratchcard game with a national TV and
radio ad blitz narrated by former Doctor Who actor Tom Baker. The TV ads
will run until the end of the month on ITV, C4, C5 and satellite
channels. They feature five black-clad men and women who approach a
machine filled with a whirling storm of tickets and open their
briefcases, revealing the five winning cards. Each places theirs in the
machine, before its contents are packed into vans to be scattered across
the country. A classical score plays in the background as Baker says,
"The National Lottery Instant Millionaire Game. They're somewhere out
there now." Creative was by WCRS, with media by Media Planning Group.
