The Best Work You May Never See: McCann NY, Director Christian Breslauer Sound Grande For New York Lottery
McCann New York launched a campaign for the New York Lottery which includes this music video-style spot directed by Christian Breslauer of London Alley.

The new lotto games were designed by McCann Design, inspired by the colorful storefronts of New York bodegas.
