According to this article, Rayner retired in 1976. But according to "The Museum of Classic Chicago Television" in their Facebook post, it was said that he retired around 1981. Which is correct? -- azumanga (talk) 01:08, 15 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Ray Rayner. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

• Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.museum.tv/newssection.php?page=304

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Native Chicagoan here. The then-new Illinois State Lottery had a weekly, one-hour broadcast on WGN-TV, Channel 9, where numbers were drawn for ISL's weekly lotto game, and where in-studio contestants witnessed the Weekly Bonanza drawing where someone won $300,000 every week. The broadcast ran from 7pm to 8pm Central every Thursday evening. Rayner presided over the proceedings with a cordial and breezy style. Where could this information be placed?
