So, this will be a thread of me posting various art, some from the real show, some made up. Some will be ones that I have posted in the past but will re-post here for the sake of organization and easier finding. First off, here's my depiction of the "Billion Dollar Wedge" from the show's April Fools hoax, both in gold and green. This is the "Crazy" part of this thread.  (reverse sides may or may not come soon. It was easy to replace the M with a B when it's laid out straight like on the front side, but it'll take a lot more work to make such an alternation with the curved orientation of the back side)   |

With this wedge, the media will never cry foul of any mispronounciations again!   |

People could solve with any pronunciation with this wedge! |

Or say or do whatever they want. At the same time, I worry it may lead to anarchy. So... [chuckles nervously] That's my big concern there. Maybe limit it to solve it anyway you'd like. It can be right or wrong yet you'll still win the round.
Let's say the puzzle is Cracker Jack, and you say Pindrop. You'll still win. |

The "Cash $5,000" Prize wedge from the unaired Lottery Experience games:  Also, a variant that says "BONUS" instead of "CASH", which I feel makes more sense to describe the "Prize" since it's not gameplay cash:  And a generic Prize wedge made from this same style:  |

I don't really like the wedge they used for the show. Even for unaired, they probably could have gone with "CASH" near the rim and either "BONUS" or "PRIZE" vertically. It wouldn't look that much better, but at least it could be better distinguished from a cash wedge.
I like that they used an outline, as that could allow them to use more red prize wedges.

Unaired, huh? Then I wonder how this got to YouTube. Maybe they gave them a DVD and said that they could do whatever they wanted with it such as posting it online?
But, hey, at least we got to see how this stuff worked. They still offered trips and cars, something that I don't think the lottery offers. On top of that, there's another contestant since Season 20 who walked away with no cash. Guy's probably the first if you count Lottery episodes.

There were DVD copies distributed, but they had a disclaimer that very clearly said that they were not for re-distribution. Meaning that once the show finds it, it won't be up long. |

A more traditionally-formatted $6,000 wedge with the same color scheme as the actual one:  |

I keep thinking his username says "luggage." An appropriate wedge!

This makes me smile so much! In fact I wished I'd asked on air to keep the wedge - I think they would have let me! In any case I did not see what it was until I saw the show airing - my mom had suggested I forfeit due to the unlikelihood of selling it where we lived and we would have had to pay taxes on it (I had to pay 7% State and 30% Federal - not complaining though, especially due to the US $ being worth CDN $1.40 at the time!) |

Interesting find there, Mario. BTW, do you have any plans on recreating the actual $6000 wedge used the show? If not, it's okay; I was just curious.

I started to a little while ago, but I've been putting it off mainly because the colored dots are a pain to recreate exactly as they're arranged on the wedge. Before any of us saw it, I made my own prediction of it based on some details that Josh remembered from the taping. I wasn't too far off:  |

It's a good start, Mario. In fact, I think you got the hard parts down already.

What I thought they should've done with that wedge was a blend of theirs and Mario's. Have WHEEL going across the top and $6,000 going vertically.

We all know the current background for the Mystery Round bumper is 6 seasons old. What if it went back even further, about 18 seasons old?  |
