It’s the little things in life, right? For Ryan, a recent contestant on “The Price Is Right,” that’s definitely the case. Yesterday, Ryan broke the show’s all-time Plinko record and he went absolutely ballistic!
In case you’re not familiar, Plinko is the game where contestants drop those puck-like chips down a gigantic pinball-style board, and the chips end up in grooves at the bottom that are worth anywhere from $0 to $10,000. Ryan hit the max, $10,000, with his first chip. On his next try, he got $1,000. And then on the third chip, hit the $10,000 jackpot again! On his fourth try only won him $500, but then he hit the $10,000 again with his fifth and final chip! That’s a total of $31,500.
Host Drew Carey said that was the most any contestant has ever won. The previous record was $30,500. Obviously, the whole thing is about 99.9% luck, but Ryan didn’t care. He was absolutely losing his mind!
