Five young, attractive women prance across a pastoral meadow holding a larger than life hamburger. Joining this surreal scene is a man running towards them, his mouth wide open, ready to take a bite out of the fast approaching, king-sized burger.
Then we’re asked the question, “What if?” And the “if” turns out to be, “What would you do if you won the Oregon Lottery?” as a Powerball lotto ticket gets printed out before our eyes.
For this man, the answer to the query is investing his lottery winnings in beautiful women and the creation of the world’s largest hamburger.
“Burger” is part of a three-spot Powerball campaign directed by Zach Math of Bob Industries, Santa Monica, for agency Borders Perrin Norrander, Portland, Ore.
The BPN team consisted of creative director Terry Schneider, art director Ben Carter, copywriter John Heinsma and producer Scott Fox.
T.K. Knowles exec produced for Bob Industries. The DP was Patrick McGowan.
Editors were Corky DeVault and Katie Turinski of Joint Editorial, Portland.
