The money that a contestant won was spent on prizes that had dollar amounts, so that there was greater involvement of advertisers and retailers. The later syndicated version had both cash and prizes, though still with ample advertising by the prize suppliers.

What were the prizes during the early Wheel of Fortune shows?

The daytime edition of the Wheel of Fortune began in 1975 with Chuck Woolery as the host and Susan Stafford turning the letters. Originally, all the money won in a round was then "spent" buying prizes of various types. As on the Price is Right and other daytime shows, the makers of these products or services provided them to the show and paid for their display. One unique item was a life-size ceramic dalmatian dog, which gained the nickname of Sheldon and became the show's "mascot". The price of the ceramic dogs was originally set at $154. Money not spent after a round could be left in the player's "account, but could only be spent if and when they won another round.
