* [[Market-Based Title]]: Originally called ''Strike it Rich'' in the United States, but changed to ''Strike it Lucky'' upon its trip to Britain as the lower stakes forced by the IBA's [[Game Show Winnings Cap]] of the era couldn't be considered "[[No Budget|rich]]" by any means. The title was changed back to "Strike it Rich" on the revival because Thames Television wouldn't let its 2¼-days-a-week-only rival, London Weekend Television, use the old name (LWT and [[Fremantle Media|Fremantle]] were co-producing). However, the revival ''did'' have a larger prize budget since the IBA cap was no more, justifying the new name.
