When Indiana cut the Hoosier Lottery’s ad budget by $1 million, Bates Midwest was asked to produce spots that are adaptable for a number of games.

With that mandate, the Indianapolis shop’s latest work assumes the look of a movie trailer and continues the tag line, “Fun is good.” The three-spot campaign promotes the state’s $2 game. Each ad parodies a different film genre: romantic comedy, suspense thril ler and monster flick.

The spots conclude with a five-second hole in which a new $2 game can be introduced.
