Anyone see the Coin-related commercial for the Connecticut Lottery?

I saw the commerical last night for the CT Lottery, but I was only half watching until I realized that it was coin related. From what I remember, a guy was sitting on a couch with his girlfriend next to him. It was a holiday scene and he handed her a ring box (you assumed it was a ring). She opens it, and she says something like, "a coin?!?". Then he says, "it's not just any coin. It's a 1913 buffalo nickel. You can use it to scratch the holiday lottery tickets from the CT Lottery." Then there is some information about the lottery given, and then the scene cuts back to the guy and girl. He then says, "someday I will show you my Indian head pennies!".

Has anyone else seen this? Did I get the gist of the commercial?

    Sounds like a funny commercial. I think some others posted about this one last week.

    I hope it shows to the coin guys: Do not give your wife or girlfriend coins for Christmas!

    I've given my ex-wives (and their lawyers) many coins.

    The dude's in the doghouse now. There's no way he'll get his pennies anywhere near her now.

    Seems like it would be funnier if it were a 1913 v-nickel.
