Fingerprint: gypsy queen, giant pale-blue crystal ball filled with grid of oversized playing cards mixed with court cards, grinning gypsy woman in red polka-dot headscarf with gold hoop earrings leaning behind ball, row of seven solid colored circles top beside green MILLION arrow, tall right-hand column of colored ovals reading down 900,000 to 100,000, big yellow block capitals with red shadow tilted under cursive Gottlieb's
The single most memorable element is a giant pale-blue crystal ball filled with a grid of oversized playing cards (spades, hearts, clubs, diamonds mixed with rows of court cards). A grinning gypsy woman in a red polka-dot headscarf and gold hoop earrings leans in from the top-left corner behind the ball. A row of seven solid coloured circles runs across the top beside a green arrow marked MILLION, and a tall right-hand column of coloured ovals reads down 900,000 to 100,000. The title is set in big yellow block capitals with a red shadow, tilted, sitting under a cursive Gottlieb's.

| Kind | Description |
|---|---|
| Woman | Smiling gypsy fortune-teller at top-left, dark hair under a red headscarf with white polka dots, large gold hoop earrings, cream off-the-shoulder blouse with a red sash, one hand raised to her cheek, painted red lipstick |

| Other | Rows of small painted playing-card court figures (kings and queens) printed on the cards arrayed over the crystal ball |
Flat, brightly painted backglass on a dark navy-blue night sky sprinkled with small four-pointed white stars. A huge pale-blue crystal ball or globe dominates the centre, its surface rendered with white highlight streaks and a white elliptical sheen; on top of it, large playing cards are laid out in a grid - oversized spade, heart, club and diamond cards alternating with rows of small court cards (kings and queens in red, yellow and black). At top-left a smiling dark-haired gypsy woman leans in from behind the globe, wearing a red headscarf covered in white polka dots, a cream off-the-shoulder blouse and a red sash, with large gold hoop earrings and a painted pink-red lipstick smile. Across the top runs a row of seven plain coloured discs (blue, green, cyan, yellow, white, orange, red) as pop-bumper lamps, with a green right-pointing arrow at the far right. Down the right edge a vertical stack of coloured ovals carries score values from 900,000 down to 100,000. Along the bottom edge a row of small red-and-yellow striped banners with number labels sits above a green ground strip.
