*Showcase Winner

Comments

*Fantastic show! Peter became the biggest single prize winner in TPIR history (and therefore is the biggest winner of the season), four pricing games were won and they gave away $122,188 in cash and prizes! Too bad it ended with the sixth double overbid of the season.
*Very generous Golden Road today. The second prize was worth $9,000 AND it was extremly easy to win ($9,254 was the only choice that didn't have a double number in it).
*Speaking of easy, That's Too Much! was pretty simple as well. So was Grocery Game... as long as you knew the price of the Vitamins. ($6.72 x 3 = $20.16)
*The six contestants that made it up on stage were all males. That's rare.
*Three Strikes and Golden Road were played in the same week. Who cares if the shows are running out of order. It's still rare.
*How much could have Peter won today? The cash register says: $127,281.
*Of the $122,188 in cash and prizes that was given away today, 70% of it belonged to Peter.
*Eva was the 400th female contestant of the season.
*Ten years ago today: The $88,865 biggest winner record was established.
