The Price Isn’t Right
TMZ reported in 2008 that the Plink Game on the show had been rigged for a commercial that was being shot. It had been rigged to hit $10,000 but was left this way on accident. This led to a lady hitting the $10,000 slot. However, she still walked away with the money because of the producers’ mistake.
Scientifically Curious
The wheel on The Price is Right and the entire game itself have been the object of various scientific studies. It’s the reason for much curiosity all across the globe, which is why the Royal Economic Society decided to fund a research project involving the show.
