"Les Cancres, 'Non! Six fois sept: quarante deux... Dire qu'a un chiffre pres, j'avas le numero gagnant!"" (Cancers, 'No! Six times seven: forty two ... To say that a number close, I had the winning number! ")

This adorable comic advertises the French National Lottery (Loterie Nationale). Inspired by a child's math class, this kid makes a witty remark about winning lottery tickets. The bold color and elementary-school fonts of this poster make it all-the-more eye-catching. This is part of a series done for Loterie Nationale.
