Yep, our last tape date will be November 16th. A new production company is taking the show from Jonathan Goodson Productions.

Does this mean you will not be involved with the new program?

The only exposure I got to the Big Spin is when I first saw it in San Bernandino when I was visting my brother who was living there at the time in August 1986. It was qoite a weekend draw back then. Then I went back home & see if I can find it on sattelite. Sure enough, it was there along with lottery shows from Ohio & Oregon. The 80's sure was a fun time to watch that stuff when my parents were at card club every month.

Im not in a position to discuss plans for the new show, but I can tell you that discussions are underway for me to be the voice of the lottery's new TV and radio advertising campaign.

Hmmm. Interesting name for the replacement show -- somewhat reminiscent of that immensely popular Ohio Lottery classic, "Make Me Famous, Make Me Rich". I wonder if they will draw the concept from the Ohio Lottery show?

/Not to be confused with the 2-player home game called "Make Me a Sandwich".

Understood. That is excellent potential news.

Well, we knew the contract was up for rebid some time ago-

I wonder if the new production will involve Sande Stewart? That's basically the only other person that's been doing lottery game shows in the US..
