notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: <i>Wheel of Fortune</i> from the Pot-O-Gold Radio program. Made of painted wood and metal. The half hour program aired every Tuesday night on NBC from 1939-1941, with a revival for one season on ABC in 1946. The main event occured when someone from the studio audience would spin the wheel three times. The first spin helped randomly choose a phone book, the second spin a page, and the final spin a line from that page. The host would then call the number. If someone answered they would win a cash prize of $1,000 dollars or more.
