Wink Martindale's account put out the first round of Chuck Barris' "The New Treasure Hunt" from 1973... unlike, say, "Price Is Right," no one was going to win stuff right off the bat on this show, and the "klunks," as Barris called them, were more frequent than "Price"'s "zonks"... the suspense compares to what the major multiple-state lottery games have had of late...

I must admit I love Barris' speech at the beginning of the pilot:
"And since it's my cash, I find this program concept downright taut."

Also, the zonks were on Let's Make a Deal, not The Price is Right!
