Full description

A red-cabinet backglass illustration dominated by a huge purple inverted triangle behind the title lettering. At the apex of the triangle, in white cursive script, is 'Gottlieb's' above the two-line title 'LADY LUCK' in large pale-yellow block capitals with red drop shadow. Across the light-blue sky at the top, two ragged rows of angled score-value placards in coloured boxes read 100 000, 200 000, 300 000, 400 000, 500 000, 600 000, 700 000, 800 000 and 900 000. Two blonde pin-up women in white-and-blue sailor caps stand in the foreground on the bow of a white boat, mirrored left and right, each reaching one arm inward to touch a small glowing glass sphere while the other hand holds a ship's wheel. Between them is a large circular red-and-gold wheel marked 'MILLIONS' in an arc, with numbered segments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and a purple centre disc marked 7, above a red banner reading 'POINTS'. A third blonde woman in a blue two-piece reclines on the deck at lower left; a fourth smaller woman in purple sits lower right. A sailing dinghy with a red DOUBLE panel on its sail passes on the right. Dominant colours are purple, light blue, red and yellow.
