But some 49 years ago, Easter Sunday 1974, in addition to baskets of goodies from the Easter Bunny, I would also receive toys or games.
One such game I got was the old Milton Bradley "The Joker's Wild" game. In lieu of spinning wheels, the game came with cards for both the main game and the bonus game.
Unlike the real show, the bonus game cards came as a set of 24 cards total, 8 red, 8 green and 8 blue.
Each group had I believe 1 $200, 1 $150, 2 $100 1 $75, 1 $50, 1 $25 and 1 Devil.
I shuffled all 3 groups up and did a bonus game and the very first "spin" came up as:
On one of THE most holy of holidays, 3 Devils turned up on the very first try. This weirded me out and obviously it made a very lasting impression as I am sharing this story with you all almost a full half century later!
