The Massachusetts Lottery (in association with Jonathan Goodson) also backed an hour-long Saturday night game show, "Bonus Bonanza", which debuted on February 4, 1995. Hayes served as co-host with Brian Tracey. "Bonus Bonanza" had randomly drawn contestants play elimination games (similar to "The Price Is Right") to win big cash prizes. At the end of each show, that night's three players would return to play a bonus round. Each would place a cylinder on a numbered space from 1 to 12. A motorized cube would then be let go, in order to knock the cylinders down. After 30 seconds, any player that had a cylinder still standing won the cash amount (ranging from $7,500 to $200,000) associated with their number choice. The $200,000 prize was won several times during the program's three-year run on WCVB. It also served as the runoff program for the various contests associated with the Massachusetts Lottery. One such contest featured contestants playing for a cruise for 20, a Chevrolet Blazer SUV, and $25,000 a year for life. "Bonus Bonanza" was canceled shortly before WCVB's lottery contract ended, airing its final episode in March 1998. The nightly lottery drawings moved back to WBZ-TV two months later on May 20, 1998.
