A photo of a blue glass in a wooden frame, cropped at the top so the title is cut off.

At top left a partial pin-up woman in a red swimsuit, only legs and torso visible. Down the left runs a vertical yellow road-like track with green hexagons numbered 9, 8, 7, 6. Curved red banner reads MILLION, with rotated values 800,000, 900,000, 600,000, 400,000, 200,000 in italics, and red and orange values 700,000 to 100,000 at left. Right-hand yellow panel carries red circles 1 and 2, with 5, 4, 3 along the bottom. A segmented red, yellow and green wheel sits bottom left. Bold flat colours, cartoon style.
