''Illinois Instant Riches'' (later known as ''Illinois' Luckiest'') is a lottery game show airing in the state of Illinois, as well as nationally on Chicago-based Superstation WGN-TV. The show was hosted by Mark Goodman, with Linda Kollmeyer as his co-host and Bill Barber as announcer. The show was produced by Mark Goodson Productions (later Jonathan Goodson Productions), and premiered on July 9, 1994. The show was renamed ''Illinois' Luckiest'' in 1998 and aired until 2000. For contestants to appear on the show, they must have bought an ''Illinois Instant Riches''/''Illinois' Luckiest'' scratch-off ticket from an Illinois Lottery retailer. If they uncover three TVs, then the ticket is sent in to the given address. Players were randomly chosen from those tickets to be in the show's contestant pool, but only a certain number of them would be selected to play an on-stage game. Several of the games on this show were transported to and from some other lottery game shows, most notable, ''Flamingo Fortune'' (Florida), ''Bonus Bonanza'' (Massachusetts), and ''NY Wired'' (New York); the differences are mentioned in this article. Elements from these games also carried over to the current quarterly-based Michigan Lottery game show ''Make Me Rich''. ==Rules (''Illinois Instant Riches'')== Fifteen contestants were in the contestant pool. Kollmeyer would spin a wheel that was hooked to lights above each contestant's seat. When the wheel stopped, the player whose seat was lit would play a game, in addition to winning a set of lottery tickets. During a special remote broadcast from Arlington Race Course in 1997, the selection and bonus rounds were modified. Random numbers were drawn to choose contestants, pulled from the same kind of machine used for their lottery drawings. Also, the original bonus game, ''Knockout'', was played in place of the current (at the time) game, Pot O'Gold, and modified its format to account for the returning champion. ''Flamingo Fortune'' and ''Bonus Bonanza'' used the same wheel procedures, but with different ways to show whom the wheel picked, and with a different number of players. ''Flamingo Fortune'' used 30 players, in 3 groups of 10, and a TV screen that showed the person's name and face. ''Bonus Bonanza'' used 27 players, in 3 groups of 9, and used a spotlight that the wheel was hooked to. 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「Illinois Instant Riches」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
