They do claim it's the highest paying Cash show in the USA!

Way to go Ohio! Entered a few myself, never picked to enter the show either.

I quit buying those tickets a few years ago. Figured there is something better to play without the publicity of being on the show.

I guess it's good for those who enjoy the entertainment and contestants a chance to win some money. Maybe I'm being selfish, but daily draws on Saturday evenings are drawn later than normal because of the show. I believe the drawings happen when the show is over. That has always frustrated me. Even as a kid I would sit in front of the tv thinking... just get to the numbers!!! I never knew anything about the numbers, but I always liked watching them being drawn

That sounds great...especially since it doesn't cost the lottery anything with ticket sales covering the cost.

NY was doing the Monopoly game show for a bit, but that didn't last long.

Twenty-nine years after it launched, the Ohio Lottery's Cash Explosion show remains must-see TV for thousands of Ohioans, who turn in every Saturday evening to watch ordinary folks jump, cry and scream over winning tens of thousands of dollars.

The attraction is easy; it takes no skill to be chosen to appear on the slightly corny show or to win just a lot of luck. Every contestant walks away with about $10,000.

Like Cindy Feasel, who always wanted to swim with dolphins. Now, with a $50,000... [ More ]
