Lottery! on ABC survived only one season. Even with a holdout by the stars of 'Dukes of Hazzard' leading to replacement actors for those roles, the show still couldn't gain traction.
 
Lottery! on ABC survived only one season. Even with a holdout by the stars of 'Dukes of Hazzard' leading to replacement actors for those roles, the show still couldn't gain traction.

The holdout had actually ended by that point, and Tom Wopat and John Schneider had returned
to the roles. However, the damage had already been done to the ratings. But those ratings were
still stronger than Lottery!.
