Jackpot! is a television game show seen in three different runs between 1974 and 1990. Geoff Edwards hosted the original version of this Bob Stewart production from January 7, 1974 until September 26, 1975 on NBC. A second version, produced in Canada, aired from September 30, 1985 to December 30, 1988 on the USA Network in the U.S. and was hosted by Mike Darrow. A third version, again hosted by Edwards, ran from September 18, 1989 to March 16, 1990 in syndication and was filmed in Glendale, California. Elements of Jackpot! were later used in the GSN game show Hollywood Showdown. Its producer, Sande Stewart, became a production partner of his father during the 1980s.

Similar to Peripheral TV series' Jackpot?
The Jackpot trilogy has some strong original ideas, but IMO the writing has gone down a good couple of notches. I found myself getting annoyed by how clunky it was.
The Amazon show is very, very good, and definitely worth watching.
I don't understand what modern SFF has turned into. Many modern books do nothing for me at all.
It feels like at some point we stopped being able to imagine completely new futures and started recycling old futures as video games and CGI movies.
