Classic Cash Explosion episode

Here is a cash explosion clip I found on a VHS tape. Unfortunately, the rest of the episode was recorded over.

This was obviously one of Paul Tapie's earliest episodes as host, as this was still from the original _Cash Explosion_ format.

Which the format is a drag race to the finish line!

Watched so many of these growing up.

It is SO WEIRD seeing Paul Tapie in this format.

When, exactly, did they switch to the _Double Play_ format?

[@DomFalance]

@@drewzuhosky6826 Some point in 1989.

@@DomFalance Before then this is the format where it’s mainly the lottery’s form of the quarter mile drag race or horse race! First of the 7 people that crosses the finish line first wins the jackpot!

Michigan’s Lottery copied this version of CE. Went through three different titles, IIRC.

Jim Pitcock announcing? This was prior to the hiring of John E. Douglas…

Do you have any more episodes of this awesome show? ☺

[@4HBirtcher]

I want to know as well!

Where do you get all these old stuff from?
