If you thought the giant rubber duck that drifted down the River Thames last year was a ballsy advertising stunt, check out the 26-foot-high, inflatable, lighted Lotto balls the National Lottery floated last week. Those are big balls. Very big balls. Each is the size of a double-decker bus, we're told in a YouTube video immortalizing the event. Each ball used 2,000 watts of light. Those are giant, electrified balls. Project manager David Chambers calls them "the biggest Lotto balls ever made."
