Three players, one representing each game (one of whom was Roger Dobkowitz), played a series of games culminating with the game Avalanche, where the winner could win up to $100,000 on top of what they won earlier. The format did not sell (though it was used as the basis for other lottery game shows, most notably Illinois Instant Riches), but a sizzle reel was recently discovered and posted on Wink Martindale's YouTube page as part of his ongoing "Wink's Vault" series on August 1, 2015. Personal life Jim met his wife June during his time at Grossingers. She later became a top model with the Eileen Ford agency and later, and during their time in Canada, ran her own gallery business as well. She currently operates her own pottery and gallery, Shambhala Pottery in Bakersville, North Carolina. The couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on June 29, 2009. Their son, Sean Perry, is a television producer and was a partner in Endeavor, a Beverly Hills-based talent agency. Their daughter, Erin Perry, worked with Bob Stewart Productions as an associate producer to The $25,000 Pyramid, and also served with Pat Finn's production company, In-Finn-ity Productions, as its vice-president. Following retirement, Jim and June Perry made Oregon and North Carolina their homes with Ashland, Oregon, being their final residence. Death In 2010, Perry was diagnosed with cancer. He died from the disease on November 20, 2015, less than two weeks after his 82nd birthday.
