I am surprised to hear the news considering that it was only last year when they changed the hosts and the entire set and game board... I cant imagine ratings would prompt the change since before the switch last year, they had the same set for seemingly ten years.

Ohio Lottery is going thru a LOT of changes in its lottery games ever since Ohio joined Mega Millions. We now have an impossible lotto game where you pick 6 between 00 to 99 for a chance to win 1 million then if nobody wins only goes up 100,000 each drawing.

 

The Lot-o'-Play game is actually five from 00 to 99, not six, and what that actually is is your ticket is a computer-generated 5x5 bingo card, and you win if you get 3, 4, or 5 in a line with the five the lottery draws. Still impossible as all hell, though; Saturday's jackpot is all the way up to $2.8 million. (Perhaps if more people played, it might see enough revenue to roll the jackpot more than $100k, and it might see a few more winners, but I digress.)

I remember watching Cash Explosion almost weekly when I was growing up, and I thought that the show had taken a turn for the worse with the new set and new hosts; add to the fact that the prize values haven't been upped in, what, seventeen, eighteen years? Hopefully this new show ups the budget a bit.

 

Yeah; the old set and old hosts were amazing, and actually made the mindless show worth watching. Ever since the change, with those annoying hosts and clunky segues, and very cheaply-made "computerized" board, it's like watching a train wreck, and not one of those really intense, interesting train wrecks; like when a train runs out of gas and hits a 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix at 10 MPH; that kind of train wreck. I'm looking forward to the new show.
