Local Woman Risks It All, Defies Husband, and Wins Big on ‘The Price Is Right’
A local contestant on “The Price Is Right” threw caution to the wind, ignored her husband’s pleas, and drove away with a brand new truck. Anne, whose last name was not immediately available, navigated the high-stakes game of “Pass The Buck” with nerves of steel, showcasing both her grocery shopping savvy and a gambler’s spirit.
“Pass The Buck” challenges contestants to compare prices of common grocery items, identifying the lower-priced option. Correct guesses earn chances to select numbered cards, each concealing either cash prizes, a new car, or the dreaded “Lose Everything.”
Anne correctly priced two pairs of grocery items – vanilla protein shakes versus vinaigrette dressing, and mashed potatoes versus gluten-free cereal – earning two picks. Her first choice, number 4 (a nod to her four children), revealed a $5,000 prize.
Her second pick, number 3, added another $3,000 to her winnings. With $8,000 already in the bag, most contestants would cash out.
Anne’s husband certainly thought so, frantically signaling her to take the money and run.
But Anne had her eyes on the bigger prize – a Nissan truck. “My husband is telling me to take the money but I wanna go for the car,” she declared.
Ignoring his increasingly frantic gestures, she chose her final card, number 6. The audience held its breath.
Then, the reveal – a picture of the truck!
Anne erupted in celebration, dashing across the stage in disbelief. With a playful jab at her now-speechless husband, she stuck out her tongue, proving that sometimes, it pays to go with your gut.
