  Just curious. 

  Guess I'll have to get to Vegas some other way.  I for one will miss it, although there were other $3 scratch games; this one was good to me in our state.

  Your input welcome

  Really never got excited about the scratch tickets or TV game. Watched the game a couple of times and once mailed in a ticket. Can't say I'll miss either one.

  i liked it because as opposed to other game shows, it did not require actual knowledge.

  I've redone my website.  Go to www.dr-ew.com.  I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff.  Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks.

  I'm disappointed the show is going away.  I admit I didn't like the first game show with Bob Eubanks, but I did like the show in Las Vegas with Todd Newton.  He's a better host than Bob Eubanks IMHO.  I used to buy the tickets every week and when I got entries, I'd send them in.  I've been sending them in for a few years now and never got picked to be a home player or to go on the show.  In fact just yesterday when I went to Circle K to get Powerball tickets for the big drawing, the clerk said to me "You're going to have to find another scratch off."

  This game was pretty good to me too as I usually got either an entry ticket or a price, often just a free ticket or $2(the ticket price here), but I did win a few $10 and $20 prices on it.  Just last weekend, I won $17 on it!  Great scratch game and a great show I thought.  If I did get on the show, even if I didn't win the big prize, the trip to Vegas would have still been great.  Free airfare, hotel, $750 spending money, and $1000 just for being on the show isn't bad. 

  I can however, see why the show is going away.  I read in another post ratings weren't good and there wasn't alot of participation, which are the reasons MUSL has decided to end the show.  One problem I've seen with ratings, at least in my state(Louisiana), is the show was given very poor timeslots.  In the Louisiana cities it aired in, it was either in a late night timeslot on Saturday or Sunday or Saturday or Sunday afternoon, which would often get bumped by sports. 

  I'll miss the show and hope one day, they'll reconsider and give it another shot.

  here's what the MUSL should have done.  they should have made the top prize a rolling jackpot, and taped each show the night before.  "who wants to be a millionaire" used a rolling jackpot to bring back viewers and players.  if there were a rolling jackpot, there would always be people wanting in on it.

  I really like your idea, but we're a little late since they already announced the end.

  That would be interesting, but I can't see it happening.  Seems like lately, Louisiana has been pushing the scratch off games in its marketing.  They haven't been advertising the online games much, although they recently had an ad campaign for Cash Quest(pick 5) using Phyllis Diller and Jimmie Walker.

  We have alot of gambling here as it is with the lottery, riverboat casinos, Indian casinos, and in some areas, video poker.  The lottery has alot of competition here.

  AFAIK Cash Quest is a pick-4 where you can choose one set of numbers; all the others are automatically quick-picked.

  After around 2 years of playing Powerball Instant Millionaire, I won some money!  This week, I got a check in the mail from the Louisiana Lottery for $100 because my name was chosen as a home player.  Not alot, but better than nothing.  With all of the tickets I've sent in, I'm surprised something didn't come through sooner.

  Even if I hadn't won anything, I'd still miss the game show.

  I won $200 as an at-home player in 2001.
