Sorry! Been here for years and I do remember the numbers thing, but nothing about Mary. I do not go back to when QVC first started.

I do go back to pre QVC and have been a part time viewer for all those years.  I remember something about a numbers thing, but do not remember anyone in particular who was involved.  I also remember when your name was put into a huge cylinder if you bought something that day and a name was drawn by Kathy L. each night.  I won a $1,000.00 gift certificate from QVC in that drawing. A nice surprise. 

 

Sorry I can't help you with your specific question.  Good luck with it.

I had forgotten that--thanks for the memory.  It has been years.

the only kind of unusual thing that i remember on any shop channel was the 'TOOTY HORN" that HSN use to beep every now-then. 

 

do not recall that picking of balls with numbers
