TWO SOUTHEAST MISSOURIANS TO APPEAR IN LOTTERY TV SHOW

Harlan Weber of Altenburg and Russel Nickelson of Ste. Genevieve are among six Missouri lottery players who will appear on an upcoming "Fun & Fortune" game show broadcast.

The show is scheduled to air the weekend of Jan. 9, and one of the contestants could win more than $100,000.

Weber, along with Sheryl Dale of Jacksonville, Dennis Mullersman of Wildwood and Barry Penberthy of Barnhart, automatically qualified for the show when they found a television symbol as the prize on their winning "Fun & Fortune" scratchers tickets.

Nickelson and Margie Antill of Kansas City were selected in a drawing of valid "Fun & Fortune" entry tickets.

The players will compete in the first two preliminary rounds of the show. The winner of the prior week's show will come back as the returning champion to challenge the two preliminary round winners in the $10,000 championship round. The winner of this final round may then have the opportunity to enter the "Missouri Multiplier" round and possibly turn their $10,000 into $100,000.
