Dream Trip Win on “The Price is Right” Sparks Rigging Accusations
A recent episode of “The Price is Right” saw contestant Letitia win a dream trip to Morocco, but some viewers are crying foul, claiming the game was rigged. Letitia, who shared her desire to visit her daughter living in Spain and meet her in Morocco, played the Balance Game.
This game requires contestants to balance a scale by choosing bags of coins that equal the value of the prize. With a trip to Morocco on the line, Letitia carefully selected bags worth $6,000, $4,000, and $625, totaling $10,625.
As the larger prize bag was placed on the opposite scale, the audience held its breath. The scale teetered before finally balancing, securing Letitia’s win.
While many viewers found the moment heartwarming, some on social media questioned the win, suggesting the show’s producers orchestrated the outcome. Comments like, “Sometimes I think they just give people they like the win,” and “Is this real or for show?” fueled the online speculation.
This isn’t the first time “The Price is Right” has faced rigging accusations. A previous incident involving the Dice Game, where a contestant seemingly effortlessly won a car, also drew similar suspicions. Despite these recurring allegations, no concrete evidence of rigging has ever been presented.
