Fingerprint: THRIPLETS in curved red slab-serif with yellow-gold outline, dark-blue banner reading 5 4 3 2 1 MILLION at top, golden-yellow sunburst disc with three identical red-fringed showgirls with raised arms, diagonal red ribbon panels with score values down sides, blue circles numbered 3 6 9 12 15 18 GO at bottom arc, white sailing yacht lower right, three men's heads along bottom strip.
Three identical showgirls in red fringed costumes dancing in unison on a huge golden sunburst disc, ringed by diagonal red score-value panels. Overhead, the word "THRIPLETS" curves across in enormous red-and-gold letters beneath an arched "5 4 3 2 1 MILLION" jackpot banner. A white sailing yacht on blue water at the bottom right and a row of three men's heads along the bottom edge are the other memorable elements. The whole piece has a very tall, narrow, poster-like proportion with a dark blue night sky behind.

A vertically oriented, hand-painted backglass with a deep blue night-sky background. Across the top an arched dark-blue banner edged in white reads "5 4 3 2 1 MILLION" in chunky red block letters with pale yellow highlights, each numeral separated by a dot. Below it the main title "THRIPLETS" is set in very large curved red slab-serif capitals with a broad yellow-gold outline and white edging, arcing downward across the upper third. A large golden-yellow sunburst disc fills the centre, its rays picked out in orange, and on it stand three identical showgirls side by side in red fringed bathing costumes, arms raised and bent, legs crossed, each with short dark hair. Diagonal red ribbon panels carrying white score values fan out down the left and right sides of the disc, reading 700 000, 100 000, 500 000, 200 000 and 500 000. The lower left corner has a small "AWARDS" label on a pale panel; a bottom arc of blue circles carries the numerals 3 6 9 12 15 18 GO in white. Along the very bottom a strip shows three men's heads in a row above a counter, and at lower right a white sailing yacht with a yellow-and-white striped sail sits on flat blue water.
