This New York Lottery game will lift every bacon lover’s spirits

Lottery
(New Yorkers are waking and smelling the wins)

There’s something delicious (yeah, we went there) coming to New York Lottery retailers. It’s a new Scratch-Off Game called BACON! Yes, glorious bacon!

To launch the new lottery ticket, McCann New York cooked up a campaign that pays homage to everyone’s favorite food. The smokey, salty smell of bacon is calling New Yorkers to Wake Up and Smell the Win.  

The centerpiece of the lottery campaign is an enchanting spot called, “Early Riser.” Directed by Conor Byrne from M ss ng P eces, it tells the story of a New Yorker who is magically awoken and carried through the air, out of his home, and through the streets by a mouthwatering aroma.

Spoiler alert, it’s Bacon! It was shot all in-camera both in-studio and on location in New York, using a specialized rig to ensure the hero character was always being led by his nose towards the source of that sweet bacon smell. Watch the new lottery work below:

The lottery campaign is being supported with promotion across the New York Lottery’s social and digital channels. Fans are invited to Wake Up and Smell the Prizes by signing up for early morning prize alerts delivered to their email inbox every morning during October.

The 30 earliest risers to check NYLBacon.com will be awarded with weekly Bacon Boxes filled with bacon-themed items ranging from frying bans to bacon air-fresheners—and they’ll be entered for a chance to win the $10,000 grand prize. 

The Wake-Up and Smell the Win lottery campaign will live across TV, online, social, a digital experience, e-newsletter, retail, radio, OOH, print, and direct mail executions from September 7th, 2021 to October 31st, 2021. The Bacon! promotion runs from September 29th to October 30th, 2021.
