Anyone Remember This Late 60s Game Show? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In 1969, there was a Canadian produced game show titled "Money Makers" that aired in syndication with Jim Perry as host. Does anyone remember this late 60s game show? I remember it lasted 13 weeks and it aired in the late afternoon on Channel 5 in New York. The game had five contestants, playing for the entire week who answered questions to put numbers on a Bingo-like game board. Whoever completed a row advanced to the bonus round where the winning contestant selected one of 10 envelopes and each correct answer moved the decimal point to the right of each number.

The one other thing I remember about that show was that point values for each question were drawn out of a ping pong ball machine.

I don't remember this show but I do remember Jim Perry. He hosted two other Canadian game shows that I am familiar with, Definition and Headline Hunters. He also hosted the American game shows Card Sharks and Sale of the Century.
