Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Game Show that aired on radio and television from 1947 through 1958. People in desperate need of money were given $30 to wager on four questions. If a contestant did not win any money, the "Heart Line" was opened for home viewers to call and make donations.While popular enough to last a combined ten years, Strike it Rich remains as one of the most controversial game shows of all time. The premise of giving aid to people in need seemed wholesome, but its most vocal detractors have called it exploitation for the sake of viewership. TV Guide even called it "a despicable travesty on the very nature of charity".Not to be confused with the game show primarily named Strike It Lucky, which was also titled Strike It Rich for some years. | |

| Strike It Rich / int_f870d50 | comment |
Consolation Prize: Zig-Zagged. Contestants who finished with no money collected donations from the "Heart Line". This depended on the generosity of the home viewers. | |
