I havent watched TPIR in years, good to see Bob going strong! I have never seen a showcase over 70,000 much less 89,000+.

Do syndicated shows not count in that record?

Because several game shows have broken that record!

(P.S. PYL's Michael Larson is my hero!)

Edited.

I read something wrong. Congrats to Price Is Right.

My guess is it must've been from the Million Dollar Primetime Special.

Bob said she's the biggest winner in TPIR Daytime history.

Guess it was a CBS daytime record

VICKYANN BECOMES BIGGEST DAYTIME GAME SHOW WINNER IN CBS HISTORY

For a variety of reasons, including weather coverage pre-emption, TVgameshows.net does not have the full name----but a woman married for 26 years, Vickyann, is now the biggest winner in the history of daytime game shows on CBS.

She launched the start of the 35th season of The Price Is Right starts the show's 35th season of The Price Is Right as a Double Showcase winner, topping the $110,237 of Michael Larson on CBS's Press Your Luck in 1984.

Vickyann won her way onstage with a $2,500 hot tub and went on for a new $20,194 Dodge Caravan SE in the Push Over game. She added another $1,000 in cash on the wheel. In the Showcase, her opponent overbid. Vickyann, on her package of a JBL Home Theatre System, Robotron/Joust video arcade game and Dodge Viper, bid $89,500. Actual retail price: $89,739. The house erupted as she added a trip to New York, four DXG digital cameras and a Saturn Sky. The record earnings in cash and prizes totaled $147,517.

Some people have all the luck... I'd be happy to win a couple of hundred. That would be enough to hit up a nice, trendy LA restaurant to eat.

My guess is it must've been from the Million Dollar Primetime Special.

I am asuming that is only for TPIR in the USA cuz if he is talking about world wide they still have a long way to go to beat Australia's record.

I am not to sure exactly what it is but I do know that it was in excess of $500,000.00

It was during that time that if someone won the showcase which was in excess of $100,000.00 they were also given an appartment worth around $400,000.00.

But once again it is off air and Family Fued is back.

I just wish that they decide to go with one game show and stick to it.

Whoa! Not many people win both showcases. That's really great. Of course, there's always the one good showcase and then the one crappy showcase, but if you win BOTH, that's pretty sweet!!

My grandma went on TPIR and won a car, and then my aunt went on and won a bedroom set.

If I ever get on, I'd totally want to play Plinko. It's almost impossible to not win something on that game.

Congrats to your Grandma and Aunt!

When I was little before I started kindergarten my Mom used to watch TPIR everyday, and I would always ask if they were going to play Plinko.......My Mom still teases me about it now when we watch TPIR....

Grats to her but she's going to have hella lot of taxes on those.

Plinko is definitely the easiest game. Unless you keep hitting 0, you can't really lose.

The worst ones are the golf game (b/c what if you suck at golf), and the one where you can either switch the prices or not...it's basically like flipping a coin.

Golf Game is my favorite. It's pretty easy even if you don't golf. Just hit the ball straight and you'll get it in.
