What happens
Lucky Numbers is a weekly Bingo-based game show that aired on ITV from 9 January 1995 to 4 July 1997 and was hosted by Shane Richie. The show was one of the first UK game shows which allowed viewers to take part at home and win. The show was sponsored by The Sun newspaper, and allowed viewers who bought a copy to play along using an enclosed game-card for a chance to win shares of a £20,000 cash prize. Nick Weir was the host of the show in an unbroadcast pilot recorded in 1994, predating his official game show career debut, On the Ball (1997) by three years, the latter show also being a Granada Productions series. This show had no relation to an American game show pilot of the same name, recorded in 1985 and hosted by Alex Trebek. It was similar in gameplay to the American game show Trump Card, which aired from 1990 to 1991 and was hosted by Jimmy Cefalo. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
