Beautiful the new campaign from Lotto, New Zealand, which comes with a film telling the touching story of a sailor Russell and his dog Wilson who discover on the My Lotto site that their regular Powerball ticket is the big one. I will not tell the whole story for the video not to lose its charm. But definitely worth watching. The full version lasts two and a half minute, but there will be shorter versions for TV (90, 60 and 15 seconds).
This inspiring and moving spot features a soundtrack sung by Australian legend Nick Cave. This is the first time Nick has allowed his unique voice to be used on a commercial.

Simply beautiful! Almost made me cry at the moments..
Superb! Simply Superb! I am still not buying Lotto though. Odds are ridiculous.
I love this. Classic advertising at it’s best. A client that understands you need time to build an emotional connection. Keep them coming NZ. Why can’t we have a lotto ad like this?
Awesome music. Beautifully shot.
But how did the guy at the end know it was a winning ticket?
Haha! Got you!
