Framed vintage lottery ticket, five cents

This framed vintage punchboard, titled Lovers Lane, is a nostalgic relic from mid-20th-century American pop culture. Once a common fixture in bars and corner stores, this 5¢ game of chance combined small-stakes gambling with playful, pin-up imagery to entice players. The colorful layout and risqué illustration evoke the flirtatious optimism of the postwar era, while the tactile grid invites a glimpse into a time when entertainment was as simple as a paper slip and a promise of winnings. Today, it stands as both kitsch and commentary - an artifact of Americana where commerce, desire, and design collided.
