NEW ON THE SCENE THE DREAM RANGER HAS FINALLY ARRIVED! With the holidays behind us, we can start the new year with a daydream. You should begin seeing the Dream Ranger in POS assets, as well as outdoor advertising. At the same time, the exciting new commercials, featuring daydreams of lobster pinatas and dragon roller coasters, are making their way to a TV near you. The “Don’t Give Up Your Daydream” campaign features the heroic Dream Ranger, who reminds Illinoisans to get a chance to make dreams come true by buying a lottery ticket. The Dream Ranger’s purpose is to show that dreams may become reality if you’re willing to act on them. In this fun campaign, fantastical situations, representing dreams, materialize when the dreamer has a lottery ticket. Dream Ranger is our initiative to increase retailer ticket sales over the next year by reminding people to daydream big. You could have more people in line for the lottery!
