Hoosier Millionaire - Original Rules

Original Rules

Six contestants each picked at least three numbers (this was known as rounds 1-3) from the game board, numbered 1–30. The dollar amounts ranged from $1,000 to $10,000 (with $1,000 and $2,000 being the most common). There were also two bonus prizes (typically 5,000 Hoosier Lottery Scratch-Off tickets and a trip sponsored by ATA) on the board that "did not count towards a contestant's cash prize total" (that is, the contestant got to pick again until uncovering a number with a dollar amount). Round 3 eliminates the four contestants with the lowest dollar amounts until there are only two contestants in what was called the "playoff" round. The contestant who ended with the most money moved on the bonus round. All six contestants keep whatever money they earned (which was guaranteed to be at least $3,000). In the mid-1990s, a Doubler square was added to the game board which doubled whatever dollar amount was next picked.

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or rules:

    Thir dread commander: he above the rest
    In shape and gesture proudly eminent
    Stood like a Towr; his form had yet not lost
    All her Original brightness, nor appear’d
    Less than Arch Angel ruind, and th’ excess
    Of Glory obscur’d: As when the Sun new ris’n
    Looks through the Horizontal misty Air
    Shorn of his Beams, or from behind the Moon
    In dim Eclips disastrous twilight sheds
    On half the Nations, and with fear of change
    Perplexes Monarchs.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    I invented the colors of the vowels!—A black, E white, I red, O blue, U green—I made rules for the form and movement of each consonant, and, and with instinctive rhythms, I flattered myself that I had created a poetic language accessible, some day, to all the senses.
    Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891)
