By the Time You Get Those Golden Tickets, They May Be a Bit Weathered

This year for the Australian Outdoor Awards, the Outdoor Media Association is giving away a grand prize of 10,000 one-dollar stratchies (scratch-to-win lotto tickets) — all of which are currently being used to wallpaper a billboard over Sydney’s Parramatta Rd.

All 10,000 scratchies were sacrificed to form a silhouette of the show’s golden pigeon logo. There’s an armed guard standing watch 24/7 in the event some yahoo comes bearing a ladder in pursuit of some luck. (Scratchies can yield cash prizes of up to $20,000.)

Billboard conceptualized by The Glue Society. There was also a billboard truck, which drove around the country for 36 days to promote the event.

Shots of the billboard’s four-day birth:

The loneliest people in most families aren’t the ones who left or struggled—they’re the ones who became the bank, because once you’re seen as the solution to everyone’s problems, nobody sees you as a person who might have problems of your own
