Shoppers will pay the retailers with specially stickered one-dollar bills, which will then be distributed to other customers, who will then be directed to the nbc.com Web site. Those new customers will be encouraged to use the specially marked dollars to fulfill the wish of someone else--which is the premise of the "Three Wishes" show. There will also be a big wish for a local charity in each city, where NBC will present a check for $2,500 to purchase items on the charity's own wish list.
"Three Wishes" premieres September 23, 9:00 p.m. EST, hosted by singer Amy Grant.
