Day Of The Dead, Alive

For many Minnesotans, the true meaning behind the vibrant colors and bold symbols of Día de los Muertos is overshadowed by Hollywood and Halloween. Minnesota Lottery wanted to change that. So we launched a campaign to educate the masses and support the many symbols that give the Day of the Dead life.

Luis Fitch + Minnesota Lottery: Mini-Docu

We partnered with a well-known Latinx artist, Luis Fitch, to create Día de los Muertos scratch games.
He dives into the history and traditions of Day of the Dead and the important role it plays in inspiring his artwork.

Scratch Game Photography

The design and iconography of these tickets are very purposeful. Each ticket represents a different aspect of this sacred holiday.
For instance, the Marigold flowers on the orange ticket are known as the “flower of the dead.” Their scent and color guide each spirit to its family altar.
