Views: 1324

Here is a (mostly complete) Illinois Lottery Drawing from October 25th, 1984. (PM Magazine immediately followed)

The announcer during the lottery drawing is Jim Barton.

There's that background music. You can also hear it in a 1984 Lincoln Tech commercial and a 1986 WFLD Lottery Drawing that I posted earlier. It's called "Power Generator" and is part of the Network Production Library of music. You can find it on an album of theirs called "Corporate Class".
