Wheel of Fortune question...

Ok, DH thinks im nuts but i swear i remember this in old school Wheel of Fortune!

Wasnt there a time where you would take your money won and they'd have a wall of stuff to buy with price tags on the items and you would just select what you wanted? Or am i totally dreaming that????

Yes, you're right. You bought items based on what you won in a certain room with items. That was back when Vanna still *turned* the letters!

Yeah, I didn't even know they had stopped doing this until a couple of years ago. The stuff was always really bad, too...as an example, I remember a giant porcelain dalmation being up for grabs a lot.

I think they called that The Shopping Spree. If you had under a certain amount left, I think they would give it to you in a gift certificate
