$40m dollars is enough to make just about anyone’s dreams come true. It also happens to be how much the new Mega Millions starting jackpot is worth.

To demonstrate the extent of what’s possible when you play, BBDO created Aunt Edith for the Georgia Lottery, a normal elderly woman with an abnormal dream: to become the newest, oldest face in hip-hop. She used her money to self-fund her debut mixtape, produced by Grammy-winning producer, Needlz, and she hired DECON's Jason Goldwatch (Jim Jones, The Roots, Kid Cudi) to direct her music video.

Her music video and mixtape, appropriately titled 40 MIL, was dropped on 28 October, and you can listen on Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora.
