''Cash Explosion'', known as ''Cash Explosion Double Play'' from 1989 until 2006, is an official Ohio Lottery TV game show, which is broadcast on television stations throughout Ohio. The show originated in Cleveland and is now taped by Mills James Productions in Columbus, Ohio. ''Cash Explosion'' originally aired from February 7, 1987 to September 30, 2006, at which point the Ohio Lottery replaced it with ''Make Me Famous, Make Me Rich''. However, slumping ticket sales and poor ratings prompted the return of the ''Cash Explosion'' format a year later, on October 6, 2007, and it has remained on the air since. ''Cash Explosion'' is the longest-running state lottery based game show, surpassing California's ''The Big Spin'', which ended its run on January 10, 2009, after 23 years and 1,213 episodes. As of September 27, 2014, ''Cash Explosion'' has run for 26 years and 1,433 episodes. ''Cash Explosion'' (in 2014) is currently the only weekly lottery game show airing in the United States. ==Hosts== Bob Grossi (then a weather anchor at WBNS-TV in Columbus, Ohio) was the original host, and was replaced in 1988 by Paul Tapié. Tapié lasted until 2000, when Mike Armstrong took over. After a few months, Armstrong was replaced, again by Tapié, who stayed until February 2004. Sharon Bicknell was the co-host from the beginning until February 2004, returning in 2007 until the present. Michelle Duda and Leilani Barrett took over as hosts in February 2004, and remained through the end of the first run. Regular lottery drawers Karen Harris (who has since retired) and Bob Becker substituted on various occasions. John E. Douglas (Cleveland) has the longest run as the "off stage announcer" from 1987 until 2006. Following its October 2007 return, David McCreary, who had previously hosted ''Make Me Famous, Make Me Rich'', became the new host with Bicknell returning, and newcomer Cherie McClain also joining the cast. Barb McCann was Cash Explosion's Special Correspondent from 2007–2008. McCann won a contest during the run of ''Make Me Famous, Make Me Rich'' in which viewers voted on their favorite co-host among those auditioning. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cash Explosion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
