It's a shame the millionaire game show had to go.I liked the old show The Big Spin with the original host Chuck Woolery.

I never watched it, not even once. Didn't even know when or what station it was on.

They shouldn't cancel the show. They should fire the ones who was responsible for logistics.

I certainly agree with you..and I hope you are right--they need to do something to make up the cost; perhaps you can e-mail your great suggestion.

Since the show is cancelled, I wonder what I will do with all of my 2nd coupons which I spent $5.00 each...can I get my money back--I certainly doubt it. They better come up with better games big time to make up for this fiasco.

I would still buy multiples-- but I too, was wondering what happens to my Fantasy Five 2nd chance tickets. Maybe they will add it to a higher payoff in that monthly 2nd chance scratchers we have maybe instead of $1,000, you get $5000.

Maybe I can get my Power... [ More ]

Instead of bringing PowerBall to California those guys are working out some silly game with a 1M jackpots - which is less than some scratchers games. I guess thats gonna be a fix for a Super Lotto Plus. I probably should be thankful to those guys - they will save me a few bucks, but somehow don't feel grateful at all.

What is the saying, if it ain't broke, don't fix it; I knew that show will fail big time because: a) they made the prizes too small; b) it was harder to get on it even though you had to mail out a zillion of the 2nd coupons when you bought a $5.00 Fantasy 5 to get the chance to get on the show; c) the co-host was dressing in terrible outfits--I guess try to attract more male viewers.

The Big Spin was very exciting to watch every week and they never should have changed it to begin with.

The state government wanted to borrow $5 billion from the lottery? Is this the same state government that handles money so well that they're going bankrupt?

Whoa, deja vu all over again.

That's where our social security trust fund went. The government borrowed it. It's now about empty and full of worthless IOU's from the government which is now looking for new places to borrow money for it's massive spending sprees.

As far as the TV shows I've always thought the lotteries ought to just... [ More ]

All I can say is Good Riddance! That game had extremely weak prizes and difficult chances to even get on the show. Now if they take that money and put it towards bigger prizes we would all be happier for it.

California Lottery cancels 'Millionaire' TV show

The television game show that made Snow White a multimillionaire is going off the air.

California Lottery officials are canceling the lottery's weekly Make Me a Millionaire game, citing poor ratings. The last episode is July 3.

Launched in January 2009, Make Me a Millionaire was supposed to be a lively, entertaining promotion for the state lottery. It replaced The Big Spin program, which lasted for more than 20 years.

Last August, Natalie Marston, 22, who plays Snow White at Disneyland,... [ More ]
