Omg. My Nana, who lived with us, used to watch this from time. Being 6 or 7, I was never really interested in it. But I remember it being on and this brings back warm memories of my Nana.

$1,900 in 1976 is over $10,000 now. Karen is still alive now, she is 73.

That lady sure knew how to bowl and strike hard to hit a high jackpot. 21000+ in today's dollars, about 10.5K split with her pinpal, that's nothing to sneeze at.

Never thought I would see a DOUBLE Jackpot on any version of Bowling for Dollars...much less one of $3800 go off. Every market, including NYC had their version with Bob Murphy, later Larry Kinney gave away the money.

In addition to winning a huge jackpot after two strikes, anyone who bowls three strikes is going to drive home in a brand new car. Now isn't that nice!;;
