A full overhead photo of a vintage playfield in a wooden cabinet, painted in bold blue, yellow, red and orange flat colours.

Large score inserts include 500.000, 100.000 and 50.000 EXCEPT WHEN LIT, plus a bottom circle reading 1/2 MILLION WHEN LIT. SPECIAL WHEN LIT labels in blue appear in several places.

Full description

Photograph of a wood-framed glass in a golden oak surround, angled slightly. Across the top a black curved banner carries a rainbow row of numerals 1 to 9 in different colours, with 'MILLIONS' in white capitals on a red ribbon beneath. The title MARYLAND arches above in big red, blue and yellow 3D block capitals with a black outline over a blue sky with white clouds. Down the left edge a rounded panel stacks coloured discs reading 900 to 100 (each with small 000), with a row of smaller discs 90 to 10 along the bottom. The central scene is a sunny vineyard: a blonde woman in a red short-sleeved top and blue shorts kneels picking grapes into a wicker basket beside a trellis of green vines, a dark-haired woman in a striped top stands behind among the vines, and a smaller figure in yellow and red stands in the distance on the right. Flat, bright cartoon-style illustration with strong outlines.
