David&Goliath hypes the California Lottery’s new larger scratch off tickets with “An Epic Moment” in a 60-second broadcast spot.
The effort turns the purchase of a Scratchers Super Ticket into something far more dramatic via super slow-motion and a whole lot of over-acting. A man announces his decision to purchase the Super Ticket by very, very slowly pointing past the sales clerk to the item, while everyone else in the store overreacts in kind.
The spot is a continuation of sorts of the humorous approach the agency employed in its spot for The Price is Right scratchers last July. Like that effort it utilizes a knowingly over-the-top scenario to underscore why people find California Lottery’s Scratchers appealing and what makes the particular offering distinct. In this case, it would be the over-sized nature of the Super Ticket, thus the over-sized nature of the spot itself.
While that approach makes sense strategically, the spot’s humor doesn’t exactly lead to over-sized laughs — unlike that image of a bulldog at a computer keyboard.
