A tall rectangular backglass in a plain medium-brown wooden frame, with a dark royal-blue outer sky and a large maroon banner arched across the top carrying the word MILLION in bold cream-white block capitals, flanked by white dots. Below the banner, ten cream score-value panels carry red and black numerals - 500,000, 600,000, a red 700,000, 800,000, a green 900,000, and 100,000, 200,000, 300,000, 400,000 - set in two staggered rows. The centre of the glass is dominated by an oval orange-yellow medallion reading THE 4 Horsemen, with a very large black numeral 4 in a white oval at its heart and 'THE' and 'Horsemen' in curved black-and-white lettering. Above and around the medallion, two costumed riders in red and yellow sit astride rearing horses, one in a red cap and yellow tunic with a raised arm. A huge yellow-green sunburst washes the middle of the glass. The lower half shows a grandstand crowd of hundreds of tiny multicoloured figures, a cream colonnaded wall of arches, small flags on poles, a tall red cylindrical tower on the right, a green grass strip and a white post at bottom left labelled POINTS in red capitals.
