Objective

The Florida Lottery reinvests 97 percent of its revenue back into the state's economy. Its main goal is to support Florida Education. In under three decades, the Lottery has contributed over $45 billion to the Bright Futures Scholarship program, sending nearly a million students to college.

The goal of this campaign was to introduce the new GOLD RUSH DOUBLER family of Scratch-Offs in a way that would drive player interest and engagement, ticket sales, and, as a result, maximize the amount of funds transferred to the education fund. More specifically, the objective was to reach $150 million in ticket sales and $28 million in contributions to Florida education.

Strategy

GOLD RUSH is one of the most iconic Florida Lottery Scratch-Offs players know and love. It boasts a high value proposition and life-changing top prizes. Our strategy was to leverage the high-end brand of the game to put a luxury spin on the expected Gold Rush imagery. We’ve learned that the Florida Lottery loyalists enjoy new opportunities to connect with the brand, and we wanted to delight them by adding novel sensory elements into the customer experience.
