Visualizing the Ticket
​I'm now zeroing in on the "Tree Bucks" scratch ticket design. Multiple reference images and videos have really helped. My primary focus is accurately capturing the key visual elements, down to the last detail. The $2 price point is, of course, critical.
​Detailing the Prompt
​I'm refining my prompt now, incorporating all the recent details. The "Michigan Lottery" branding is crucial, as is the 4:5 aspect ratio and 4k resolution. I'm focusing on accurately describing the badger, money trees, and "Win up to $500!" sign, along with the scratch area containing nine dollar signs. The text "Match 3 prizes to win!" needs to be exact.
​Analyzing the References
​I'm now deep-diving into the user's uploaded references. The "Michigan Lottery" branding is a high priority, so I'll need to figure out where to place it and how to integrate it. The badger image in the references is very distinct, and I need to incorporate it properly. I will now search to determine if this is a real ticket, to make sure this is accurate.
​Incorporating Visual Clues
​I've been closely analyzing the uploaded images again, realizing they're the primary source. My focus is on faithfully recreating the visual details, like the "TREE BUCKS" title in the wooden font, the $1 price, and the "WIN UP TO $500!" slogan. The badger, money trees, and the scratch area's dollar sign grid are also crucial. I'll need to figure out how to incorporate the "Michigan Lottery" branding, perhaps adding it as requested. I'm prioritizing accuracy based on the provided visual evidence.
​Evaluating User Feedback
​I'm now grappling with the user's feedback, noting the videos match the generated image. Specifically, the badger in the MP4 looks like the generated badger. Did the user feed the AI's output back? Or, did the AI coincidentally generate an accurate match to a real ticket? The MP4 videos feature a hand scratching a ticket that matches the AI's first turn exactly. This requires further investigation!
​Deciphering User Intent
​I'm now understanding the user's process. It seems they first provided references, including a video of an existing ticket. The user likely wants me to recreate the ticket from the provided references while adding specific details like the "Michigan Lottery" branding. This helps establish the user's direction and goals for this project.
​Validating the Design
​I'm now investigating if "Tree Bucks" is an authentic Michigan Lottery scratch ticket. My search queries yielded promising results, suggesting this is, in fact, a real design. This crucial discovery will guide my image generation process. I now plan to accurately recreate the ticket, adhering to the established 4:5 aspect ratio and 4k resolution while incorporating the "Michigan Lottery" branding, as per the user's explicit instructions. My plan is to leverage the visual references provided by the user, while making sure the resulting image reflects a valid ticket, and incorporates the new information of it being an actual ticket design.
​Placing the Logo
​I'm now investigating optimal logo placement for the "Michigan Lottery" branding, drawing on my understanding of real lottery ticket design principles. It's typical for the logo to reside in the top left or right corner of the ticket, so I'm researching examples.
​Identifying Game Names
​I've been digging into this "Tree Bucks" thing. It's not a real Michigan Lottery game, that's clear. I've found similar names like "Autumn Bucks" and "Money Tree" from Wisconsin, but no match. It's looking more and more like "Tree Bucks" might be a made-up name or a generic term. I also confirmed "Badger 5" is a Wisconsin game. The Michigan Lottery seems to have no game by that name.
​Clarifying the Source
​I'm now certain this image isn't an actual Michigan Lottery design. The badger screams Wisconsin. The user's goal seems to be creating a custom image: a 4:5, 4k "Michigan Lottery" ticket. Based on the provided examples, I will generate a ticket with a cartoon badger, money tree, wooden sign title, and a "WIN UP TO $500!" slogan. The scratch area will be a 3x3 grid of dollar signs on a silver background.
​Constructing Visual Details
​I'm solidifying the ticket's visual elements. I've incorporated the "MICHIGAN LOTTERY" branding and price. The background will be a grassy scene, as requested. "MATCH 3 PRIZES TO WIN!" will be at the bottom, and the style will be illustrative and vibrant, consistent with instant lottery tickets. I'm focusing on incorporating a badger and money tree to capture the "Tree Bucks" concept, all while adhering to the 4:5 aspect ratio and 4k resolution. I've drafted a prompt that details all the image elements for generation.
​Confirming Generation Intent
​I'm now certain the user already has a base image. Examining the provided image again makes it clear it's AI-generated. The user likely wants to add "MICHIGAN LOTTERY" to the existing "TREE BUCKS" image. I've re-prioritized my approach to accommodate their apparent request for a specific addition. I am working on how to incorporate the Michigan Lottery text onto the existing image
