100,000 Fortune Hunt is an American lottery-based game show originating in the state of Illinois.

[2] Linda Kollmeyer served as the hostess[3] during the entire run with Bill Barber as the announcer.

Potential contestants purchased a $100,000 Fortune Hunt scratch-off ticket from an Illinois Lottery retailer.

[1] At this first stage each week, six on-air contestants and 12 at-home viewers were selected from the preliminary drawing of entry tickets and asked to participate in the $100,000 Fortune Hunt.

These ranged from cash amounts totaling between $1,000 and $10,000 to merchandise such as rooms of furniture, trips, a big screen television, a camcorder combo, and many others.

Any home viewer whose Bonus Play ticket number matched the contestant's letter and the 4 digits in the order they were spun would win $100.

All Bonus Play tickets were good to last forever, so home viewers could keep them for the next drawing whether they were winners or not.
