VIDEO REPLAY: Christen Freeman Sets New TPIR Daytime Records With $210,000 “Cliff Hangers” Win

All this week, The Price Is Right has given contestants a chance to win massive cash prizes throughout each episode. This year’s "Big Money" games were “Hot Seat” for $100,000; “Hole In One” for $100,000; “Plinko” for $1 million and “1/2 Off” for $100,000. Some of the other temporary Big Money Week changes included a perfect bid worth $5,000 (normally $500), winning $45,000 for landing on 45¢ in a bonus spin during the Showcase Showdown and earning a $10,000 bonus if “Race Game” was won in 30 seconds or less. After it seemed like the lone highlight of the week was Raymond Keefe’s $101,000 win in “1/2 Off” on Monday’s show, Christen Freeman rose to the occasion and capped off the special week by winning an impressively staggering $210,000 playing “Cliff Hangers” – the final pricing game of the day whose top prize was worth $250,000. After waiting all show to win her way on stage, Freeman soon became The Price Is Right's biggest pricing game and overall winner in the history of the CBS daytime version. Freeman won a grand total of $213,876, including a $1,000 bonus from the second Showcase Showdown.

STAY TUNED: Million-Dollar “Plinko” on The Price Is Right’s “Big Money Week”

So far this week, nearly $500,000 has been up for grabs in the three super- sized pricing games combined during the third edition of The Price Is Right’s “Big Money Week”. Today’s featured pricing game for the special theme week will be raising the stakes by giving a contestant a chance to win up to $1 million playing “Plinko”. When it comes to big payouts, “Plinko” is the game to play. We’ve seen some pretty incredible prizes at stake within the past few decades of the game’s existence including the inflated increase to the now-permanent $50,000 format; $100,000 during primetime specials, $500,000 during the first “Big Money Week” and various other prizes including trips and cars during the All-Plinko episode last season. This year, the records for “highest daytime winnings” and “biggest daytime pricing game win” could be easily broken in one turn at $200,000 a chip. Check out this exclusive short sneak peak some snapshots of today’s episode featuring the million-dollar “Plinko” game.
