A single large portrait of a red-haired woman in a green checked scarf dominates the centre-right, her face turned left with wide, startled eyes, layered over the title.

| Woman | Painted bust portrait, adult, orange-blonde waved 1950s-style hair, pale skin, red lipstick, wide eyes looking left, green-and-white checked scarf, maroon coat, both hands raised at her collar |
A painted, wood-framed backglass of a mid-century single-player electro-mechanical game. Background is very dark navy blue-black, scattered with tiny pale dots like stars. A large tilted oval panel outlined in yellow occupies the centre; inside it a bright blue sky with a big white cloud mass, a green hillside with yellow daffodils, and a row of simple dark houses with red roofs and a church-like steeple. Across this panel runs the title in enormous italic serif capitals, orange-red with a thick black outline: STLOUIS, with the smaller black script Millions arched above it. Overlapping the right of the panel is the painted bust of a woman with orange-blonde waved hair, red lipstick, a green-and-white checked scarf over a maroon coat, her hands raised to her collar. Scoring values march around the edges: white numerals 1-9 in coloured discs at the top left and again in a coloured row of discs along the bottom, and 10,000 through 900,000 in coloured pill-shaped panels stacked down both left and right sides.
