AD-STOPPER: Did This Racy R16 New York Lotto Ad Ever Show On PrimeTime TV?

/

Did this Indian-themed New York Lotto commercial ever make it to primetime tv? The elaborately shot 1999 ad starred then-unknown actor Bipasha Basu, and created a minor scandal in India because it featured her as a topless princess.

The artistic ad directed by Tommy Kane surfaced a few years ago on YouTube, but many sites now block it with this notice: 'This video contains content from UMPG Publishing, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.'

After seeing the previous posts on masked winners, a reader had some ideas on whether you should hide away after your big win - or come straight out and front up to the world. They said:

"I'd tell everyone! What's the point of having a bunch of greenbacks if you can't brag about it. Why do you have to hide it, what's going to happen? No-one I know has ever been kidnapped because of their lottery winnings.
