Road to Riches

Road To Riches is a Michigan Lottery game show that aired on WDIV from 1996-2000

On "Road to Riches" where all roads lead to prize money, contestants select travel symbols from the "Boulevard of Bucks," "Leisure Lane," "Easy Street" and "Road to Riches" game boards. The contestant winning the closest amount to $1,000 without going over in the first four rounds advances to the final round -- the home of the big vault. The player then chooses from four keys to find the one that opens the vault. If successful on the first try, the player wins $50,000. If successful on the second try, the player wins $20,000. The third try wins a prize of $10,000, and the fourth try, $5,000. Other bonus prizes include instant cash bonuses and a Caribbean cruise for two!

As the show was produced in Detroit, the third and final incarnation took on a Motor City feel, as there are four game boards, one for each round. Each game board consisted of seven modes of transportation, which includes an Airplane a Boat a Train a Horse a Bike a Bus & a Car with dollar amounts behind each one, and the first three rounds had bonus cards.

Round 1: Boulevard of Bucks: Quick Cash bonus worth $100. Round 2: Leisure Lane: Confetti Cash bonus worth $250. Round 3: Easy Street: Bonus is a Caribbean cruise for two. Round 4: Road to Riches: Dollar amounts now include $400 and $500.

This time, the winner can keep picking keys until he/she opens the safe; the sooner they find the hot key, the more he/she wins ($50K/$20K/$10K/$5K).
