What Could Be Sweeter than This? Sweet Millions by the New York State Lottery is Peachy Deegan's Most Favorite Commercial


At Whom You Know we are all about quality and featuring the best of everything, and almost always the best of everything is exclusively in Manhattan.


However, in this case it is in all of New York State!  We cannot get enough of these Sweet Millions tv commericals and ad campaign, featured above.  So, we contacted the New York State Lottery to find out more.  They said:


The Sweet Million advertising campaign was focused on the objective to engage infrequent and non-lottery players in a way that would evoke interest in the game. Utilizing the “Sweeter than Sweet” approach afforded us the opportunity to position a traditional jackpot lottery game in such a way that consumers would perceive it as something different. Sweet animals in various settings is a draw for the consumer because everyone loves a cute puppy, kitten, bunny, etc. and the disruptive ending allows us to communicate the Sweet Million brand with strength. The campaign also allowed us to demonstrate the simplicity of the game. Most games of this type are intimidating to the infrequent or non-lottery player. Simplifying the design of the game was an important aspect of this product and was necessary to communicate in the campaign to clear away the intimidation factors. Overall, the integrated Sweet Millions campaign is able to communicate that winning a million is a sweet experience.

We like the positive nature, we like the upbeat attitude and we love the bunnies!


Peachy Deegan hopes your Friday is just as sweet.
