Fingerprint: Arc of nine white numbered circles spanning upper left above tall green rocket spire with round porthole, large slanted marquee board on right edged with light bulb ring carrying red script wordmark over huge teal block letters, white arrow banner reading MILLIONS pointing rightward, red fire hydrant in bottom-right corner drawn in flat saturated cartoon colour

Distinctive

The most memorable element is the rainbow arc of nine white numbered circles (1 through 9) spanning the upper left of the glass, sitting above a tall green rocket spire with a round porthole. A second striking feature is the large slanted marquee board on the right, edged with a ring of light bulbs and carrying a red script wordmark over huge teal block letters. A white arrow banner reading MILLIONS points rightward beneath the numbered arc. The red fire hydrant in the bottom-right corner, drawn in flat saturated cartoon colour, is an unusually specific detail to remember.

Full description

A wide cartoon-illustrated casino-city backglass. Across the upper left runs an arc of nine white circles, each outlined in black and holding a large dark numeral: 4, 5, 6, 3, 2, 1, 7, 8, 9, arranged in a rainbow over a tall green rocket-like spire with a round lit window. Beneath the arc a white arrow-shaped banner reads MILLIONS in black capitals, pointing right. The left third shows a red building facade with stacked mint-green and maroon panels printed with payout numerals such as 600, 800, 500, 400, 700 and 300, some with trailing zeros. To the right of centre a large slanted marquee board carries a red cursive script wordmark above big teal-green block capitals outlined in white, ringed by a border of round marquee bulbs. The lower half shows a pale pavement and kerb, a dark car at the right edge, a bright red fire hydrant in the bottom-right corner, and several cartoon figures in saturated clothing, including women in long purple and magenta dresses and a man in a red jacket. The sky is a deep purple night sky. Dominant colours are red, green, purple and white.
