Forget The Wall, it’s time for the OG dropping-a-thing-down-a-big-board-to-win-money game Plinko to get the spotlight! That’s right, the Price is Right mini-game is in the news because of a history-making, bank-busting win!
To celebrate the fan favorite Price is Right game’s 35th anniversary, host Drew Carey trotted out the iconic big board, resplendent with new dollar variations all playing on the game’s birthday. Prize amounts were all in multiples of 35, with the money values going up to $35,000. It was contestant Ryan’s lucky day, so long as he earned all his chips and they fell where he wanted.
Good news: they did!
Ryan walked away from his history-making Plinko game with $39,200 thanks to scoring the big money price of $35,000. You can see highlights from his major win above.
Ryan unseats the previous Plinko record-holder, another guy named Ryan who won $31,500 in the game last May. You remember him, right? He lost his mind with excitement, became an internet celebrity for a hot sec, and was then outed as a Trump supporter with a political YouTube channel!
Who knows how this Ryan will adapt to brief internet fame? Still, he now holds the Plinko record, and no haters can take that from him.
