Change your life, not who you are.

Oz Lotto is tapping into the millions that could change your life but not who you are in a campaign via Special and dentsu Queensland. 

“We exist in a category that celebrates gigantic, life-altering wins, but the truth is most Australians don't want to lose themselves completely when they win the lottery,” said Oz Lotto senior marketing manager, Jen Lyons. 

“They want to live their best life, amplified. This platform is about grounding the brand in that relatable reality.  

“We’re launching with a focus on massive initial reach - including over 1,800 OOH panels nationally - to embed the new platform and showcase Oz Lotto as the game for down-to-earth multi-millionaires.”  

The campaign was directed by Nick Kelly at MOFA. 

“Australians have a knack for downplaying things. Kinda Life Changing really leans into that,” said Special executive creative director, Ryan Fitzgerald. 

“You might have just won the lottery, but there’s some things that’ll never change. It’s a fresh, confident and playful tone that really sets Oz Lotto apart from the category.” 

The campaign will roll out across TV, out of home, YouTube, SVOD, BVOD, social and cinema. 

“To launch a platform this distinct, we needed a media strategy that matches its scale, designed to deliver immediate reach and familiarity,” said dentsu Queensland client partner, Monique Gerada. 

“Our approach is centred on connecting with Australians in the everyday moments that shape them - the routines, habits and quirks the platform celebrates.  

“With a heavy-hitting out of home rollout, paired with premium video environments, we’re embedding ‘Kinda Life Changing’ into Aussie vernacular.”
