Wheel of Fortune in Ohio

[MikeK]

While shopping this afternoon, I noticed a new Ohio Lottery scratch-off ticket, Wheel of Fortune.  This is the first game show-centric ticket put out by the Ohio Lottery.  The payoff on the ticket I bought wasn't bad at all.  I spent $2 and got back $10.

Here's the Ohio Lottery's page for the WoF instant ticket.  The lottery agent also had a promotional pamphlet with information about a second chance drawing.  A scan of the outside of the pamphlet is here and the inside is here.

The Michigan Lottery also has a Wheel Of Fortune ticket. It isn't the first time there's been a game show connection with Michigan's lottery, but one of the early times it wasn't licensed. The state tried to pull a fast one with a The Joker's Wild and a Tic Tac Dough instant game many years ago. Didn't last long. I think B&E's lawyers got involved.

Wish they had that for the Texas Lottery.

I remember they once had a Treasure Hunt scratchoff game a long time ago (no relation of the Chuck Barris show) with a top prize of $25,000!

If I had bought that from a retailer, they'd probably say, "Sorry, this scratch-off's for female players only! (LOL)"

 Why do you post such sexist posts, GSWitch?

 GSwitch does post some bizarre things. But there's a joke in his "Treasure Hunt" and "only females can buy the ticket bit", as only ladies were contestants on that show(at least in the versions we're more familiar with)

 If only it were funny.

 Sorry for my stupid, witty, bizarre humor!  At least I wouldn't resort to dirty adjectives (profanity).

The only time gentlemen ever played Treasure Hunt was on the original 1950's version when Jan Murray owned & hosted the show.  The 1950's Treasure Hunt also had a quiz segment as well.  The game was played straightforward without the sketches.

Then 14 years later, Chuck Barris bought the rights from Jan Murray.  And then discontinued the quiz & male contestants (which is why TH's The Game Show Witch of the East)!

 He has a thing against shows such as "Just Men" and "Treasure Hunt" for allegedly practice gender discrimination.

They had a WOF game for the Oregon Lottery, but it was less of a play-along-at-home game and more of a simple money game.

And I would hate to see those shows merge!

David Ruprecht would be perfect for Treasure Hunt while for Just Men!...Jane Kaczmarek!!!

WITCH:  (Looking @ herself with hand mirror)  That would be a beautiful idea.  I look gorgeous, don't I?

(Hand mirror brakes)

WITCH:  I knew I shouldn't have borrowed that from Witchiepoo!

NJ lottery had a Wheel game years ago.  The winner had to be the contestant color your card had.  If you won you got a tee-shirt.  I won, but never got a tee-shirt.

Oh, speaking of WOF Lottery tickets, I found a page that descrives those tickets, promotions, and some miscellaneous stuff.

That's the way Virginia did theirs, but I don't think it was for a T-shirt. I don't know why, but for some strange reason, I have a feeling that Wheel lottery ticket winners *might* have had the chance to become a contestant.

It's been 6 years since we had a Wheel ticket, so my memory is very hazy.

 Does that make you the 'tard of the Invision Game Show Boards, GSWitch?

Y'know, we're treading dangerously close to a.t.g.s. territory here....let's all pull back, and if something isn't aimed directly at you and it bothers you, just ignore it, OK?
