"Typical Jeffersonian jungle fever" is how AdFreak reader Kenya Brome sums up Thomas Jefferson's behavior in this New York Lottery spot from DDB. Hard to argue with that. Jefferson will want to move this beach party back to Monticello before long. The spot is pretty amusing—as the various faces of U.S. currency are seen partying with would-be lottery winners. They all seem pretty lecherous, frankly. Ben Franklin, in particular, looks to have recovered quite nicely from his sickly-green appearance in the TurboTax spot from a few years back.
