Prior to this, she was a contestant during the 1989 pilot week of Match Game, hosted by Bert Convy.There were 36 contestants in all, divided into three groups of 12 (Keno, Winning Hand, and Treasure Hunt, each corresponding to winners of that specific Lottery scratch-off ticket).Each group of 12 sat under a sign with the name of the scratch-off game on it and wore t-shirts that match the colors of those signs.
Each contestant held a lightbulb torch and they were activated by spinning a wheel. The magnets had corresponding money amounts: 1,000-5,000, 8,000, 10K, 12K, 15K, and 20K. The pendulum was held by the contestant and could be released anywhere along the ring. If the pendulum landed on Zonk, the contestant lost all of the money accumulated in the first swing. The largest dollar amount on the table was multiplied by five. HeShe was then shown a board of 16 numbered boxes, and was asked to call out numbers, one at a time. Each time a car was revealed, the car matching the one just chosen moved one space. There were four of each color and finding all four of one color ended up the game and awarded the contestant a cash prize - 1, 5,000, 15,000, or 100,000. If a ball landed in a slot that was already occupied, heshe was given a Strike. If a ball landed in an empty slot, the contestant would have hisher money doubled, and would be offered another pull. If the contestant earned their third Strike, they would lose half of their winnings. Play would continue until all eight slots were filled, a third Strike was given, or the contestant chose to stop. Similar to the childrens game KerPlunk, a large container was placed center stage containing 30 ping-pong balls. They were suspended in the top of the container by 12 numbered rods. One at a time, each player drew a number from a bag, and the corresponding rod was removed from the container. On each players turn, she lost 10,000 for every ball dropped to the bottom. Once any contestant lost all hisher money, she was eliminated from the game. ![]() The name was likely changed because the Ohio Lottery already had a show on the air called Cash Explosion. As a result, no state is mentioned during the show itself, and all mentions of the lottery are simply the Lottery. She later became one of the models for the short-lived Doug Davidson version of Price, and in 1996 became the second hostess of Flamingo Fortune.
