The California Lottery is using a luxurious dream sequence to promote its new California Black Premium Scratchers Series. Created by agency of record David&Goliath, the new work combines the dream of winning $5m and the product’s color: black.

The dream in the 75-second spot that kicks off the campaign, ‘Dreams Start in the Black’, is one where a woman is first transported to darkness, then scratches off the paint of a black wall to uncover a magical world filled with the items people dream of owning when they win the lottery – a dream yacht, a dream home and a dream car. We watch her dream journey unfold while the track, “Shortline,” plays by singer/songwriter, RY X.

To bring the surreal dream world to life, D&G worked with Oscar-winning cinematographer Claudio Miranda (Life of Pi), and director, Rich Lee.
