Overview

Description

Deep underneath the Illinois countryside, the Department of Chance conducts a ground-breaking high-tech experiment to see what will happen when two huge jackpot games – MegaMillions and Powerball - exist in the same time-space. Tension rises as the reaction between these two powerful entities grows, until there is finally an atomic-like reaction between the two of cash, and the dawn of the Mega Power Age, where life changing jackpots happen four times a week.

Execution

All of us have important “everybodies” in our life – the barista who knows our order, the mailman who has biscuits for our dog, the woman who does our nails – and during the holidays we would love to thank these “everybodies”. Illinois Lottery Holiday scratch-offs are a great way to say “thank you” and show your appreciation for the everybodies.

Outcome

This site, Illinois only, had 81,649 visitors (69,908 of them being unique visitors) over the course of 8 weeks and 7,702 shared their card via download, email, Facebook and Twitter. Over 29 million online impressions were delivered during the campaign and interaction rates were as high as 23.91% on some sites, which is over three times the retail vertical interaction benchmark of 6.83%. Additional buzz about the site was generated through a competition of awkward family photos on the Huffington Post, where one of the cards was a contender. Joysomeone.com received a Dope Award and was featured in Media Post.
