Fingerprint: d. gottlieb's... flying high: D. Gottlieb's... Flying High slanting across turquoise sky, yellow five-pointed MILLION star on red-white striped tower, nine coloured score panels, seven numbered purple pennants like plane formation, blonde in yellow outfit, white jet aircraft, yellow car and trailer
The most memorable element is the large yellow five-pointed star reading MILLION, ringed by five numbered white circles 1 to 5, sitting atop a red-and-white striped tower at the top left. Second is the trio of huge script words D. Gottlieb's... Flying High slanting across the turquoise sky, with a scattering of seven small purple pennants numbered 1 to 7 trailing diagonally beneath it like planes in formation. Third is the pin-up blonde in a yellow outfit with clasped hands at lower left, dwarfed by a white jet plane. Fourth is the bright black-and-yellow chequered tower with a red flag at the right edge, next to the tiny yellow car and trailer.

A landscape-format painted backglass set in a cherry-wood cabinet frame. The backdrop is a flat mid-turquoise-blue sky with white clouds at left and lower right, and a bright magenta-pink ground band along the bottom edge. At top right sits a 3x3 grid of nine rectangular score-value panels in red, blue, green, yellow and magenta, each with white or yellow numerals reading 100,000 through 900,000. At top left a five-pointed yellow star on a red-and-white striped lighthouse-like column carries the red word MILLION, ringed by five white circles with red numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Across the upper middle a large three-D script logo reads D. Gottlieb's... Flying High, with a white star dotting the i. A trail of seven small purple pennants with white numerals 1 to 7 sweeps diagonally down the centre like a formation flight. At lower left a blonde woman in a yellow sleeveless top and flared yellow skirt, red belt and red shoes, hands clasped at her chest, looks left. Behind her a white-and-red twin-fuselage jet aircraft points right, with two small figures in green swimwear standing beside it, a tiny yellow car and trailer at right, and a black-and-yellow chequered tower with a red flag at far right. A small white box marked 20 sits below the tower.
