In January of 2018, Ryan Glass made his appearance on the show. He wound up kicking butt at Plinko and breaking the long-standing record held by the former champion.
His chips landed on $35,000, $3,500, and $350. Glass walked away with nearly $40,000 in winnings from the game.
Overly Excited Contestant Knocks Down Drew Carey
It’s got to be hard to contain your excitement when you’re in an environment like the set of a game show. After all, everyone is super pumped up and ready to win some cash, and you can imagine the feeling if you actually win, which is what happened during this show, when this woman won Contestant’s Row.
This woman was just $65 off when she won, with Drew Carey calling her up on stage. And, like most people at that point, she was jumping up and down, excited and at the moment. Unfortunately, she was a little too excited and wound up, knocking the host down and tumbling down right along with him. Luckily, they were both okay, and the show went on.
The Woman Who Won $1 Million in Less Than 10 Seconds
During one episode of the show, a woman named Cynthia shocked herself and the audience when she was able to win $1 million in eight seconds flat. The win came during a round of Clock Game, in which she was able to guess the exact number of several consecutive prizes – locking down a cool $1M.
Carey was just as surprised as everyone else. It’s even more surprising considering the fact she didn’t even recognize the game when he first introduced it to her. He also said, “well, it’s possible to win a million, but it’s going to be hard to do.” Not for Cynthia, it wasn’t!
It’s 4:20 Somewhere
If any contestant on the show were going to price things at $420 repeatedly, you’d think it would have been Snoop Dogg. But alas, it just so happened to be Evan Goding, who appeared on the show in 2012.
Goding priced nearly everything he came to at $420. Why? In an interview after the show, he said it was a number he just “always wanted to say.” The only item he didn’t price at $420 was a guitar, which he simply added an extra digit to and priced at $1,420.
Dancing With Wheel Again
With the over-excitement, this contestant nearly gave himself a concussion and damaged the wheel, all in one spin. The man, whose name is Brian, spun the wheel so hard he flew backward and hit his head on the floor.
The audience gasped in anticipation, hoping he’d be okay. Luckily, he sprung back to his feet and proceeded to do some weird dance poses with the wheel.
