A painted pinball backglass dominated by a single reclining woman in a strapless scarlet-red gown, propped on one elbow with her left arm raised and bent behind her head, blonde curly hair, arched brows and a smile, a gold bracelet on her wrist. She sits on a teal-upholstered chair at the right of the frame, the red skirt sweeping diagonally down to the lower left. Behind her is a wall of alternating cream and pale peach vertical stripes, with teal damask-patterned fabric in the lower right. A wide black serpentine ribbon snakes from the top left down to the lower right carrying the value ladders: 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 and 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, plus a second run 10, 20, 30. Across the upper left, yellow script reads "Million" above enormous outlined numerals 1 2 3 4 in magenta, green, blue and green, beside a yellow oval reading "THOUSAND" in red. Diagonal lettering through the centre reads "United's" in purple script and "BABY FACE" in salmon-orange outlined block capitals. A top strip shows ten numbered squares 1 to 10 in alternating red, green, orange, magenta and teal. A red digital date stamp is burnt into the lower right corner.
