Wheel spins $25,000 to four
United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Four people, including a St. Louis electrician who wied for a prize on his birthday, won $25,000 yesterday by spinning the money wheel in the first jackpot finalist game of the Missouri Lottery.
No one won the top prize — $1,035,246 — which included the $1 million jackpot and an additional amount based on statewide sales of lottery tickets. Only the first person to hit the jackpot would receive the additional amount. The $1 million now is added to next week's jackpot final game.
Thomas P. Schulze of St. Louis said he would use part of his winnings to help defray the cost of college for his 16-year-old daughter.
He said he bought his ticket at a St. Louis bar called, "Off Broadway," where he was doing the electrical wiring. Since he won, he said he has bought more tickets.
"I have another entry ticket in my pocket, and I want to give it to them today," he said.
There were 30 people chosen to spin the wheel for a chance to win a top prize. They were selected in a random drawing from more than 42,000 tickets which qualified for this game. The 30 people were awarded a total of $179,500.
The other three top winners — Larry V. Gass of St. Joseph, Mo., Ed Jarman of Bolivar, Mo. and Dena Nuzum of Sedalia, Mo. — also were elated.
"When you work all your life, it's hard to come up here and go home with this amount," said Nuzum, a 38-year-old hair stylist.
Gene R. Lapetra of Kansas City, Kan., won $10,000 and plans to take a vacation.
Kansas does not have a lottery, though state officials are discussing whether one should be instituted.
Two other winners also were from out of state: Robert A. Alder Jr. of Lenexa won $1,500 and Joseph J. Cannella of Alton, Ill., won $1,000. Illinois has a state lottery.
Lori A. Young, 61, of Mountain View, Mo., came the closest to winning the $1 million when the ball landed in the slot but fell out. She won $1,500.
There are 100 divisions on the wheel, and each person who spins wins money. There are 33 places worth $1,100, 23 worth $1,500, 20 that pay $2,000, 15 worth $10,000, eight worth $25,000 and one worth $1 million.
The wheel was surrounded by a black ring with numbers on it which could be moved to let a finalist place his lucky number beside the $1 million jackpot slot.
The checks were-handed out after the taping of the show, with federal income taxes withheld.
Lottery officials bar newsmen from filming the Jackpot game
United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Officials of the Missouri Lottery yesterday prohibited television news cameramen from taking their equipment into the studio for the first "Jackpot Finalist" game.
Thirty people had the opportunity to spin a wheel and win more than $1 million. No one won the top prize, but four people did win $25,000 each.
The wheel spins occurred at the studios of public television station, KCPT-TV. An abbreviated taped version of the event was scheduled to be broadcast on a statewide network of nine television stations at 5:58 p.m. and 10:28 p.m.
Camera crews from two Kansas City television stations, WDAF-TV and KMBC-TV, and a Springfield station that attemp
red to cover the lottery as a news event were not permitted in the studio.
"All of the media are invited to come in," Pam Koupal, director of communications for the Lottery, said.
However, KCTV-TV, Fairway, Kan., a suburb of Kansas City, Mo., won the contract to produce the 3½ minute game show. Based on that contract, television news cameras from other stations were barred, Koal said.
"What amazed me this morning was that here we are attending a public event in a public television station and TV news is barred from covering it." Michael Sullivan, news director for KMBC-TV, told United Press International.
Sullivan said he wanted to cover the game as a news event, not as a program.
