History Awesome / ThePriceIsRight

* October 14, 2013: The second Big Money Week [[note]](a week in which one game gets played for an extravagant prize such as a luxury car, or six-figure cash payoffs)[[/note]] kicked off with a bang, as the contestant not only won $100,000 on 1/2 Off but went on to win $1,000 on the Big Wheel and her Showcase, becoming the ninth-biggest winner in daytime ''Price'' history with $140,236. [[note]](She was $124 away from a DSW and the then record.)[[/note]] Also, we had a perfect Stack the Deck win as well.

** If that wasn't enough, the main feature of this episode was that whoever won a game also got a check for the value of the prize. While we only had three winners [[note]]Side by Side for a $7,455 trip to Bejing, That's Too Much for a $23,020 Fiat 500 C, and the aforementioned Pay The Rent[[/note]], those wins, plus the One-Bid prizes, $24,000 on the wheel (all the bonuses were doubled), and the Showcase added up to ''Price'' breaking its daytime record for the most ever given away in one show, $340,550[[AndNinetyNineCents .23]].

* May 25, 2018: A contestant wins Card Game by a margin of only ''$5.'' (The guess was $19,800, with a $2,000 range ($19,800-$21,800), and the actual retail price of the car was $21,''795.'') [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB9fu9MFRMU Talk about a close call!]]

** Tuesday: Hannah, after wisely bailing out with $10,000 on $100,000 Hot Seat, became the only player to get a double dollar on the Big Wheel the whole week for $52,000, then had an impressive Showcase win (she missed hers by $843) for a total of $105,662.
** Thursday: Christopher won $51,000 on 1/2 Off, and then won his Showcase for a total of $101,604.

* September 23, 2019 (Season 48 Premiere): In the Showcase round, Cathy, who previously lost on Lucky $even, was originally going to bid $25,000 on her showcase but changed it to $24,866 at the last second. What was the actual retail price? ''$24,990,'' meaning if she had stayed with her original bid, it would've been a painful double overbid to start the season (since the top winner, Nancy, overbid on her showcase), as she would have been over by only $10. Instead, she gets the pleasure of being the first Double Showcase Winner of the season with a difference of $124, giving her a total of $52,443. Call it a stroke of luck, or good instincts, if you will! This is also the first time since season 35 that the very first aired episode of the season ends with a double showcase win. Also, the first player who won a game got a Tesla as a bonus (as for the whole week, the first player to win a pricing game, got a bonus prize).
* October 10, 2019: Show 9,000 featured a case of perseverance. Contestant Rosendo Alvarez was originally on the show on October 26, 1994, having lost Spelling Bee and then overbidding on the Showcase. Despite at the time never being allowed on as a contestant again, he continued to attend tapings and show 9,000 became a record-breaking ''180th'' taping. If that wasn't awesome enough, he made up for his last appearance by winning a Mazda in Push Over (plus a $9,000 cash bonus), for a total of $35,560. A loyal friend and true indeed.

* February 21, 2024 (Primetime): Nathaniel (who previously lost the night's big money game, Cliff Hangers for $250,000) redeems himself by winning a $59,547 showcase that included an Audi A4 with a smart $1 bid (the top winner Alison, who had a perfect 6 for 6 win on Now or Then[[note]]for a new living room and house cleaning for 5 years as a bonus prize[[/note]] bid $63,500 on her showcase and was over by more than $14,000), the first time that's happened since May of 2014 in daytime, and a $1,000,000 Spectacular celebrating Bob's 80th birthday back in 2003 in primetime.

** Thursday: A double showcase win by a margin of ''$1'', giving the winner, Shannon, a total of $75,943.

* December 20, 2023: For the first time since season 32... GOLDEN ROAD GETS BACK-TO-BACK WINNERS. This time, the winner won a $75,645 Mercedes E450 Coupe. Other highlights/lowlights were a nice 3 for 3 win in Now or Then, and a painful bailout in Spelling Bee, where the contestant took $4,000 but could've won the car.

* January 10, 2024 (Primetime): History was made when Any Number was played. Normally, the piggy bank is only a few dollars and change, or worse, not even a single dollar. But tonight, the piggy bank became THE MEGA PIGGY BANK. If the player won the piggy bank, the value of it would be multiplied by 10,000. So, not only is the car what you want, but the piggy bank too. Sadly, the player didn't win the car, just the piggy bank which was worth $6.27, giving her $62,700, more than the value of the car, which was over $25,000! And she impressively won her showcase, being off by under $1,000, giving her a total of $124,446. Not bad! Also, in that same episode, another contestant won $103,500 in Plinko (for up to $500,000, with a $100,000 center slot) with just 3 chips, and incidentally, his total winnings came out to $110,237, the same amount that Michael Larson won on Press Your Luck back in 1984.

** A $25,000 bailout on To The Penny (the top prize was $50,000).

** And a Range Game win[[note]]The gimmick here was that a special orange $50 area was added to the regular red $150 area, and if the ARP was within that orange area, the player won a bonus prize. This gimmick was first done in Season 45's Big Money Week; they did win, but they didn't get the bonus prize[[/note]].

-->'''Drew:''' And she's from ''[[CanadaEh Canada]]''! And she got it right on the ''nose''!

* February 2, 2024 (Primetime): It's worth noting for context that up to that point, Time is Money had been in a ''bad'' slump on the daytime show, where it had been enduring a long streak of players who won no money. On this show, it happens to be played for $200,000 tonight instead of its usual $20,000, and the contestant, Ayana, managed to win the ''full $200,000 on her first try.'' Unfortunately, she lost in the showcase showdown because someone got $1, but not before picking up ''$201,999.'' That same person would end up winning $26,000 in the first Showcase Showdown.

* December 30, 2010: The Best of 2010 show had another playing of Rat Race where the contestant [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcJLwPaMtzI&t=2087s won all three prizes]], including a 1955 Ford Thunderbird.

* February 21, 2024 (Primetime): Nathaniel (who previously lost the night's big money game, Cliff Hangers for $250,000) redeems himself by winning a $59,547 showcase that included an Audi A4 with a smart $1 bid (the top winner Alison, who had a perfect 6 for 6 win on Now or Then<p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;">for a new living room and <i>house cleaning for 5 years</i> bid $63,500 on her showcase and was over by more than $14,000), the first time that's happened since May of 2014 in daytime, and a $1,000,000 Spectacular celebrating Bob's 80th birthday back in 2003 in primetime.

Also, a clean sweep 6 for 6 win in Now or Then for a bonus prize.

Also, someone won $26,000 in the first Showcase Showdown.

* September 22, 2017: One for the ages. A perfect show to wrap up premiere week would have been impressive by itself, but the show reached legendary status during the second Showcase Showdown. Because it's the 10th anniversary of Drew's debut as host, spinning a dollar on the wheel during the week wins the contestant $10,000 instead of the usual $1,000. No one gets a dollar in the first nine showdowns of the week, but all three contestants (Charlotte, Wilbert, and Zachary) do it in No. 10. Then, for the first time since 10/6/98, two of them spin a dollar on their bonus spins, winning $25,000 each, while sadly the third came just short of landing on the nickel, which would have given him an additional $10,000. A total of $80,000 is given away during the segment, surpassing the normal maximum of $78,000 (only gettable if all 3 players spin a dollar and then get a dollar in each of their bonus spins). If it's not the best episode of the Carey era, it's definitely in the top three. When the second $25,000 is won, Drew collapses into unstoppable laughter because he can't believe what he's seeing and even the contestants enjoy a HappyDance.
* October 31, 2017: One lucky hero vanquished the evil LosingHorns in this Halloween episode by winning $25,000 on Punch A Bunch. Also, that win was one of 5 out of 6 that day.

** Thursday: Christopher won $51,000 on 1/2 Off, then won the Showcase for a total of $101,604.

* September 23, 2019 (Season 48 Premiere): Call it a stroke of luck. In the Showcase round, Cathy, who previously lost on Lucky $even, was originally going to bid $25,000 on her showcase but changed it to $24,866 at the last second. What was the actual retail price? ''$24,990.''

This is also the first time since season 35 that the very first episode of the season ends with a double showcase win. Also, the first player who won a game got a Tesla as a bonus (as for the whole week, the first player to win a pricing game, got a bonus prize).

* October 14, 2019: Big Money Week starts strong; Contestant Michael Stouber has a shirt that says "Plinko is my cardio" and lo and behold, plays Plinko. On top of that, it's that day's big money game, so it's played for a top prize of $1 million, with the center slot being worth $200,000. It's been tried before, first for $500,000 with a $100,000 center slot in 2013, and then from then on it upgraded to $1 million, with the $200,000 center slot, but we didn't have much success on nailing the center slot... until now. ''His very first chip lands in the center,'' and he walks away from the game with $202,000. Unlike the other two $200,000+ winners, he not only manages to get to the Showcase but also wins it and wins a progressive jackpot equaling the value of the other prizes won that day, for a total of a whopping ''$262,743!'' [[note]]And to this day, that's still the biggest total by one contestant for a single day on not just daytime ''Price,'' but for all of the daytime game shows.[[/note]]

** The first half of Monday's episode featuring the original three of Any Number, Bonus Game, and Double Prices.

** Trip skins being used for the first time since 2008.

[[note]]And to this day, that's still the biggest total by one contestant for a single day on not just daytime ''Price,'' but for all of the daytime game shows.[[/note]]

* December 22, 2020 (Primetime): A family of 3 became the 6th winners of Triple Play in the Carey Era.

* December 26, 2022: Sharif, the last player to make it up on stage, wins Make Your Move for a trip to Seattle, a turntable, and a mirror, then wins $11,000 on the wheel, and then becomes the 3rd contestant this season to win both showcases for a total of $86,871. And all this happened on the day after Christmas. Not bad! Sharif's reaction when he found out he won both showcases is priceless, as he thought he had only won his own showcase.

* July 3, 2023 (4th of July Primetime Special, Season 51 finale): To start off, someone won a car in Cliff Hangers, but the night belonged to Daelyn, where he won $20,000 with just 3 chips on Plinko, and then his showcase (a barbecue island, a trip to New York City, and a Ford Bronco Sport), giving him a total of $75,634.

* September 27, 2023: Keri, one of the first players to come on down today, goes on a big run. First, she wins $10,000 in Grand Game, then becomes the first person this season to spin a double dollar on the big wheel for $26,000, and then she wins her showcase in impressive fashion, only missing it by $987, giving her a total of $67,278. Also, Keri's pricing game win was one of five out of six that day, the only loss being in Cover Up.
* November 22, 2023 (Thanksgiving Special): THE FIRST PERFECT SHOW AT HAVEN STUDIOS! Also, it's the first perfect show in daytime since Christmas Eve 2021.

* December 19, 2023 (Primetime, Holiday Heroes): The show starts off big with a $50,000 win in Punch a Bunch! Also, for the first time since 2018 in Daytime, someone won Card Game by a margin of $5, AND with the $5,000 range, too (Guess was $28,300, for a range of $28,300-$33,300, and the ARP was $33,295)!

* January 3, 2024 (Primetime): Because Haven Studios couldn't fit Pay the Rent, they elected to try something else. Introducing Jackpot January! All through the month of January (and some of February as well), there will be a special ''The Price is Right at Night'' show where contestants can win hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and prizes. Special gimmicks are added in to some of the games as well. And it starts off in a big way... WITH A GOLDEN ROAD WIN (something last seen in primetime in 2008), this time for a $115,780 Lincoln Navigator! Combine the 2 consecutive wins in daytime and this primetime win, and that's 3 Golden Road wins in a row! Other highlights include...
** A $25,000 bailout in To The Penny (top prize was $50,000).

* January 10, 2024 (Primetime): History was made when Any Number was played. Normally, the piggy bank is only a few dollars and change, or worse, not even a single dollar. But tonight, the piggy bank became THE MEGA PIGGY BANK. If the player won the piggy bank, the value of it would be multiplied by 10,000. So, not only is the car what you want, but the piggy bank too. Sadly, the player didn't win the car, just the piggy bank which was worth $6.27, giving her $62,700, more than the value of the car, which was over $25,000! Not only that, but she impressively won her showcase, being off by under $1,000, giving her a total of $124,446. Not bad! Also, in that same episode, another contestant won $103,500 in Plinko (for up to $500,000, with a $100,000 center slot) with just 3 chips, and incidentally, his total winnings came out to $110,237, the exact same amount that Michael Larson won on Press Your Luck back in 1984.

* March 13, 2024: A contestant wins all five prizes in Switcheroo for the first time in the Carey era.

Also, in that same episode, Carlos won $103,500 in Plinko (for up to $500,000, with a $100,000 center slot) with just 3 chips, and incidentally, his total winnings came out to $110,237, the same amount that Michael Larson won on Press Your Luck back in 1984.

Also, someone won $26,000 in the second Showcase Showdown.

* April 22, 2011: The immediate next playing of 3Strikes is for an electric car...[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4cLudVZY3U and this one crawled back from two Strikes to a full-count win!]]

* February 17, 2015: A particularly GenreSavvy (or particularly [[EpicFail stupid]] and lucky) contestant plays Cover Up and gets only one number right per attempt. However, the way she did it[[labelnote:*]](She got the first number right on the first attempt, the second number on the second, and the fifth number on the third)[[/labelnote]] [[ForegoneConclusion ensured her victory]] after the third.
* March 3, 2015: On "Pass the Buck", a lady contestant earned all three picks, and racked up $8,000 in her first two picks. Her husband wanted her to stop right then and there, but she decided to go for the car. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd0C7IOF3h0 Guess what happened next...]]

* April Fools Day 2015: It might have only been for the first game, but Ol' Dirty Barker, all 91 years young, proved the man still had it. In addition, we almost had a perfect show (and even if the contestant who played "Any Number" didn't get the car, they still got a laptop).

* December 21, 2015: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6POVsupjYk Triple Play gets its first winner]] '''since 2007'''. The contestant (incidentally named Jesus) made it to the Showcase...[[DownerEnding only to overbid by $195]]. But, can't feel too bad for the guy that broke an 8-year-long losing streak in that game.
* December 22, 2015: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ge5EDEoeCs 3 Strikes gets its second consecutive win.]] Unlike the Triple Play winner from the day before, the contestant won his showcase, and was only $120 away from a [[WhatCouldHaveBeen a near-$118,000 payoff]]. But $87,043 including 2 cars is still a great day's work.

* September 23, 2019 (Season 48 Premiere): Call it a stroke of luck. In the Showcase round, Cathy, who previously lost on Lucky $even, was originally going to bid $25,000 on her showcase but changed it to $24,866 at the last second. What was the actual retail price? ''$24,990.'' This means that if she had stayed with her original bid, it would've been a painful double overbid to start the season, as she would have been over by only $10 (since the top winner overbid on her showcase). Instead, she gets the pleasure of being the first Double Showcase Winner of the season with a total of $52,443. This is also the first time since season 35 that the very first episode of the season ends with a Double Showcase Win. Also, the first player who won a game got a Tesla as a bonus (as for the whole week, the first player to win a pricing game, got a bonus prize).

* February 20, 2020: From Dream Car Week, [[https://youtu.be/Z64PazZReA4 this contestant (Monique) wins a Lincoln Navigator in 5 Price Tags.]] Not only that, she got a dollar on the wheel and then won another car in the Showcase for a total of $109,568.
* March 25, 2020: A contestant (Brittany) wins both showcases WITH A DIFFERENCE OF ''$6'' for a total of $61,002. It's the closest Showcase difference ever in the Carey era, aside from the exact bid back in November of 2008.

* December 24, 2020: This contestant (Anne) wins a $78,132 Porsche 718 Boxster in Golden Road. [[note]]It's also the first time it's been won with the new 2020 set.[[/note]] Sadly, this show ended in a double overbid.

* April 5, 2021: In the Showcases, the runner-up (Monique, who won $11,000 on the wheel) was off by $301. The top winner (Jack, who won $10,000 on Hot Seat and $1,000 on the wheel) before this)? OFF BY $133, giving him $58,958 in total. And those are the two closest bids with a double showcase winner in the Carey era since the $116-$290 result years ago.
* June 24, 2021: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC5wiSGA3wo The first $25,000 win on Punch A Bunch in over 3 years.]] It also saved the show from being winless. Also, Brian spun a dollar at the wheel! Sadly, it ended in a double overbid, because of El Cheapo showcases.

* February 1, 2023 (Primetime): The show celebrates all the "superfans" of The Price is Right. Every pricing game had an "unwritten rule" that most superfans would be aware of. All six pricing games were easily won (the first time in primetime as well), including Money Game (for an Alfa Romeo) being won with both the "El Cheapo" and "front and back" tricks, 10 Chances being won in just five guesses (all of which were written down immediately and followed the zero rule), the $20-$30-$40 rule in Cliff Hangers (the winner also got to keep the mountain climber as asouvenir) and Now or Then being won with the first three guesses. In the latter, Drew even asked the contestant to guess the other three items after winning, and he got 2 of the 3 correct.

* March 23, 2023: 5 out of 6 games won, plus an $11,000 win in one of the Showcase Showdowns? Could today get any better? NO. It's marred by a painful double overbid, with the top winner being over by $73.

* May 29, 2023: Natalie had a painful loss in Cliff Hangers, where, on the last item with $8 to spare, she said $50, and the mountain climber went over the mountain. The actual price of that item was $41. She missed it by $9, a dollar too many... becomes the last Double Showcase Winner of the season, and in Studio 33 with a $150 difference on her showcase. That certainly makes up for a painful loss in Cliff Hangers, where, on the last item with $8 to spare, she said $50, and Cliff went over the mountain. The actual price of that item was $41. She missed it by $9, a dollar too many...
* June 26, 2023 (Last Show at Studio 33): The last 3 games ever played in this studio were the first 3 games ever played on ''Price'', Double Prices, Bonus Game, and Any Number. The day belonged to Justin, who won Bonus Game for a trip to Australia, then got $1 on the wheel, and then won the showcase, for a total of $52,050. It is not a bad show to close this chapter of TPiR history.
* July 3, 2023 (4th of July Primetime Special, Season 51 finale): To start off, someone won a car in Cliff Hangers, but the night belonged to Daelyn, where he wins $20,000 with just 3 chips on Plinko, and then his showcase, which was a Barbecue Island, a trip to New York City, and a Ford Bronco Sport, giving him a total of $75,634.

* December 19, 2023 (Primetime, Holiday Heroes): The show starts off... WITH A $50,000 WIN IN PUNCH A BUNCH! Also, for the first time since 2018 in Daytime, someone won Card Game by a margin of $5, AND with the $5,000 range, too (Guess was $28,300, range was $28,300-$33,300, ARP was $33,295)!

* February 1, 2023 (Primetime): The show celebrates all the "superfans" of The Price is Right. Every pricing game had an "unwritten rule" that most superfans would be aware of.

In the latter, Drew even asked the contestant to guess the other three items after winning, and he got 2 of the 3 correct.

* May 29, 2023: Natalie becomes the last Double Showcase Winner of the season, and in Studio 33 with a $150 difference on her showcase. That certainly makes up for a painful loss in Cliff Hangers, where, on the last item with $8 to spare, she said $50, and Cliff went over the mountain. The actual price of that item was $41. She missed it by $9, a dollar too many...
* June 26, 2023 (Last Show at Studio 33): The last 3 games ever played in this studio were the first 3 games ever played on ''Price'', Double Prices, Bonus Game, and Any Number. The day belonged to Justin, who won Bonus Game for a trip to Australia, then got $1 on the wheel, and then won the showcase, for a total of $52,050. It is not a bad show to close this chapter of TPIR history.

* September 27, 2023: Keri, one of the first players to come on down today, goes on a big run. First, she wins $10,000 in Grand Game, then becomes the first person this season to spin a double dollar for $26,000, and then she wins her showcase in impressive fashion, only missing it by $987, giving her a total of $67,278. Also, Keri's pricing game win was one of 5 out of 6 that day, the only loss being in Cover Up.

* December 20, 2023: For the first time since season 32... GOLDEN ROAD GETS BACK-TO-BACK WINNERS. This time, the winner won a $75,645 Mercedes E450 Coupe. Other highlights/lowlights were a nice 3 for 3 win in Now or Then, and a PAINFUL $4,000 bailout in Spelling Bee.
* January 3, 2024 (Primetime): Because Haven Studios couldn't fit Pay the Rent, they elected to try something else. Introducing Jackpot January! All through the month of January, there will be a special ''The Price is Right at Night'' show where contestants can win hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and prizes. Special gimmicks are added in to some of the games as well. And it starts off in a big way... WITH A GOLDEN ROAD WIN (something last seen in primetime in 2008), this time for a $115,780 Lincoln Navigator! Combine the 2 consecutive wins in daytime and this primetime win, and that's 3 Golden Road wins in a row! Other highlights include...

** THE "MASTER KEY" being chosen on Master Key, winning all 3 prizes, including a Lexus.

* January 10, 2024 (Primetime): History was made when Any Number was played. Normally, the piggy bank is only a few dollars and change, or even worse, not even a single dollar. But tonight, the piggy bank became THE MEGA PIGGY BANK. If the player won the piggy bank, the value of it would be multiplied by 10,000. So, not only is the car what you want, but the piggy bank too. Sadly, the player didn't win the car, just the piggy bank which was worth $6.27... giving her $62,700, more than the value of the car, which was over $25,000! Not only that, but she impressively won her showcase, being under $1,000, giving her a total of $124,446. Not bad!
* January 16, 2024: Someone wins the $20,000 top prize on Hot Seat AND someone wins Stack the Deck. Both happened in the same episode. Those were 2 of 5 out of 6 wins in this show, with Double Prices being the one to ruin the perfect show this time. Sadly, it ended with a double overbid in the showcases.
* February 2, 2024 (Primetime): It's worth noting for context that up to that point, Time is Money had been in a ''bad'' slump on the daytime show, where it had been enduring a long streak of players who hadn't won anything at all. Time is Money happens to be played for $200,000 tonight instead of its usual $20,000, and the contestant, Ayana, managed to win the ''full $200,000 on her first try.'' Also, someone won $26,000 in the 2nd Showcase Showdown.
* February 7, 2024 (Primetime, Super Bowl 58): The first half had a BIG WIN, where Todd won a $118,000+ Hummer in More or Less, and a $1 spin on the Wheel. The second half had two painful moments as Joanna who played Hot Seat (for $200,000) bailed at $50,000 and could've won it all. AND WORSE, for the first time in primetime since a $1,000,000 Spectacular in May of 2004, she was also part of a double overbid in the Showcase round...
* February 21, 2024 (Primetime): A Showcase winner with a $1 bid. First time since 2014 in Daytime, and Bob's 80th Birthday MDS back in 2003 in Primetime. Also, a perfect 3-for-3 win in Now or Then.

* March 24, 1975: The "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efd8ugUbEoo Greatest Showcase War]]". Both women bid within the Double Showcase threshold ($99 or less), with the winner getting both Showcases by being '''$1''' closer.

* February 2, 2024 (Primetime): It's worth noting for context that lately, Time is Money has been in a ''bad'' slump on the daytime show, where it's currently in a long streak of players who haven't won anything at all. Time is Money happens to be played for $200,000 tonight instead of its usual $20,000, and the contestant, Ayana, managed to win the ''full $200,000 on her first try.'' Also, someone won $26,000 in the 2nd Showcase Showdown.

* October 14, 2013: The second Big Money Week [[note]](a week in which one game gets played for an extravagant prize such as a luxury car, or six-figure cash payoffs)[[/note]] kicked off with a bang, as the contestant not only won $100,000 on 1/2 Off but went on to win $1,000 on the Big Wheel and her Showcase, becoming the ninth-biggest winner in daytime ''Price'' history with $140,236. [[note]](She was $124 away from a DSW and the then all-time record.)[[/note]]

* October 20, 2014: When you get a dollar on the wheel, sometimes you want to break out in a dance. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMoByEc7KZg This guy, Eliot, opts to flop on the floor like a fish instead.]] AND HE GOT ANOTHER $25,000 AS WELL!
* November 10, 2014: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCF5yY_biDg This contestant, Steven,]] kicked off Big Money Week with a bang by winning $100,000 on Rat Race (for up to $175,000, with first place awarding $100,000, 2nd place $50,000, and 3rd place $25,000), giving him a total of $104,213. Unfortunately, Steven was also part of a double overbid in the showcases.

* September 1, 2016: To celebrate the 11,000th episode of ''The Young and The Restless,'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwLUS2AAfs the contestant (David) plays the Grand Game for $11,000.]] He wins it and then [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9NW0w699RM wins another $26,000 at the Big Wheel.]] Unfortunately, he came up short in the Showcase, but $37,000 + the Segway he won in the One Bid is not a bad day's work on ''Price''. He won MORE than the showcase winner (Jamie) did.

* October 13, 2016: A contestant beat 3 Strikes in perhaps the hardest-fought battle ever. To give you an idea, she went through ''16'' pulls during the game, and after her first ten, had no numbers on the board and two strikes. Then, she pulls the 4, correctly guesses it's the third digit, and things get better from there. [[https://archive.org/details/tpir-3-strikes-cadillac-2016 It has to be seen to be believed.]] Her reward? The most expensive car ever won in the game: a $63,415 Cadillac CT-6.

* March 23, 2017: The first contestant on stage, Jay, wears a shirt reading "Born to Play Plinko". Drew says that he doesn't think they'll be playing it so early, but they have other great stuff for him. But George then said this was the only time where he loved it when Drew was wrong! Jay goes nuts, and Drew notes that no one ever wears a Plinko shirt and plays it... until now. He wins $11,500 in Plinko and would go on to win an Audi in the Showcase, for $53,033 total.
