I'd like to solve the puzzle, Pat. Is it, "Cackling Gambler Weirds Me Out"? This new commercial for Wheel of Fortune-themed lottery tickets, now rolling out in a couple dozen markets nationwide (below is the Georgia Lottery's version), stars the affable Pat Sajak and his letter-flipping on-screen companion Vanna White. They're doubling as convenience store clerks to hawk the lotto and a related $1 million contest in a spot from Jay Silverman Productions. (The concept came from ad agency TG Madison in Atlanta.)
