Larry Kenny hosted this show before he became the voice of Lion-O in the animated series “Thundercats” in the 1980’s. “Bowling For Dollars” ran on WOR-TV (channel 9) from the mid 70’s right up until 1979. Other stations elsewhere carried their own version of “Bowling For Dollars” in Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, and other cities.

I love the $680 jackpot won by Myron! Bowling for dollars aired from 1960s-2008 at your local station where you live because it varied across USA and in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada hosted by the locals from USA and Canada. The jackpots started at $200, $300 or $500 depending where you live in USA and Canada. Getting two strikes wins the jackpot or otherwise the jackpot increases by $15 or $20 again, depending where you live. Once the jackpot was won, the jackpot reset back to what I mentioned above depending where you live.
