It’s kind of like winning the whole enchilada. The whole hog. The whole nine yards. The whole kit and caboodle. These metaphors are visually brought to life by director Errol Morris of Moxie Pictures for agency David&Goliath, Los Angeles.
Titled “It’s All Yours,” this spot uses these metaphors to show what it’s like if you win the California Lottery’s new Taxes Paid Scratchers tickets. Taxes Paid eliminates the federal tax payment on the top prize and recipients take home the full amount while the California Lotto pays all taxes associated–no questions asked.
