What kind of mega-millionaire would you be? Colle+McVoy and the Minnesota Lottery pose the question in three new ads. For me, harems and solid-gold tracksuits spring to mind, as they usually do at some point during the day. But neither appear here. One ad shows a "little-changed" couch potato, who's added a butler and maid and whose bulldog eats hunks of meat off a silver tray. In another, a guy poses for endless opulent portraits, though he probably visits the harem between sittings.
