Random Stats for the Week of June 13-15, June 25 & July 2

This week's biggest winner: Morgan ($66,465) (July 2) - 5th biggest winner of the season. Streaks snapped: Lucky $even (7 straight losses), That's Too Much (10 straight losses) On June 15th, Plinko was the 700th Pricing Game of the season to be lost, while Money Game was the 400th Pricing Game of the season to be won. On June 15th, both car games were won. That last occured on May 18th. On June 16th, Double Prices became the first pricing game of the season to be won 20 times. While the most frequently played game should probably have the most wins, Double Prices nonetheless has a fairly impressive record. Double Prices has the best winning percentage out of all games that have been played at least 25 times. Furthermore, only 1 Right Price and Plinko would have had a chance to match Double Prices's mark of obtaining 20 wins in 36 playings. View the complete table On June 25th, Switch? was played for the 35th time this season. That's the most number of playings in one season for this game. Along with Switch?, Flip Flop, More or Less, Push Over and That's Too Much have also been played a record number of times this season. With the loss on June 25th, That's Too Much reached 28 losses for the season. In the past 10 years, no Pricing Game has been lost as many times in one season. Thankfully, with the win on July 2nd, the record was not further increased. Compared to last season, Pocket Change, Shopping Spree and Step Up have had the largest increase in play - they were played six more times this season. Meanwhile, Coming or Going, Eazy az 1-2-3 and Pick-A-Pair have had a massive drop in play - they were played seven fewer times. View the complete comparison table.

This week's biggest winner: Kathleen ($61,050) (May 26) Losing streaks snapped: One Away (6 straight losses), Lucky $even (7 straight losses) $8,359 in cash and prizes was won on Tuesday. This is the lowest daily total of the season and the second lowest daily total in the past 10 seasons. Only the December 18, 2007 episode, with $8,219, had lower winnings. Between Bullseye on May 21 and Double Prices on May 26, 16 straight Pricing Games were lost. So far this season, $276,000 has been won in the Showcase Showdowns, with the top prize being won four times. This is the most won in the past 10 seasons. However, these winnings would be adjusted to $166,000 under the old payout format, which is well behind the Season 30 total, where $265,000 was won and the top prize was won nine times. So far this season, there have been 14 episodes where no Pricing Games were won outright. On the flip side, the six Pricing Games were fully lost in only 6 of those 14 episodes. In the 14 episodes where no Pricing Games were won outright, Cover Up was played 6 times, while 1 Right Price and Range Game were played 5 times and Grocery Game, Most Expen$ive and Plinko were played 4 times. On Monday, Gas Money was played for the 20th time in its history. Overall, Gas Money has two wins and two bailouts. That means contestants have failed to win the car or walk away with money in the other 16playings. On Thursday, Pass the Buck was played for a $12,835 car. That's the cheapest car offered in a Pricing Game in the past 9 seasons. During this nine year span, only one other car cost less than $13,000 - a $12,990 Chevrolet Cobalt offered twice in Season 34.

On Friday, Punch-A-Bunch was lost for the 50th straight time (50 straight playings where the top prize was not won). The last time Punch-A-Bunch was won outright was March 25, 2008, back when the top prize was $10,000. On Tuesday, Let 'em Roll was played for a $13,810 Hyundai Accent. That is the cheapest car of the season and the cheapest car since a $13,640 Chevrolet Cobalt was offered in Ten Chances on May 15, 2007.

So far this season, Danger Price is 4-0 when the danger price is the second least expensize prize and 1-5 otherwise. On Wednesday, both Showcases ended with a trip. That was the first double trip Showcase since April 14th. Stack the Deck has been lost 12 straight times and has a record of 1-12 this season. So far this season, only one contestant has gotten all 3 grocery product pairings right. Not suprisingly, this season's lone win came from this playing. Most contestants this season have not come close to winning Stack the Deck. Contestants had at least two numbers wrong in the past six playings, and in 9 out of the 12 losses. On Wednesday, 1 Right Price was lost for the third straight time - the longest winning or losing streak of the season. Pretty impressive that a game played 29 times can go so long without a string of successive wins or losses.

Random Stats for the Week of May 10-14

This week's biggest winner: Alyssa ($54,303) (May 14) By being $151 away, Alyssa had the closest Showcase bid of the season. There has yet to be a sub-$100 Showcase difference this season.

On Friday, both car games were won for the first time since April 2nd (unless you include the April 15th episode, where Lucky $even was won due to a pricing error).

Random Stats for the Week of April 26-30

This week's biggest winner: Kizuwanda ($62,990) (April 29) 65 out of 68 Pricing Games were played at least once in the month of April. Only Triple Play (March 15), Safe Crackers (March 29) and Pathfinder (March 30) were not played. On Friday, Push Over became the first Pricing Games this season to be played 30 times. Push Over is on pace to be played 37 times this season (assuming 190 episodes will air), which will easily beat the previous season high of 33 playings. Right behind Push Over is Double Prices, Lucky $even and Switch? - games that have been played 29 times. These games are on pace to be played 35 times, which would be a new season high for Switch?. At the other end of the spectrum, Golden Road and Triple Play have been played the least - 3 times. While these games have been played far less than others, Triple Play has already been played more times than last season (once) and Golden Road is one playing away from matching last year's mark. It has now been 12 straight episodes where a car was offered in at least one of the two Showcases. On Wednesday, Let 'em Roll was played sixth for the second time in its history. This game was also played sixth on April 16, 2009. On Tuesday, Grocery Game was played for a car for the first time since May 16, 2008. Since the start of Season 29, Grocery Game has a record of 3-2 when it is played for a car. In all 4 of Bullseye's wins this season, the contestant used three products before hitting the $10-$12 target. In 2 of Bullseye's 4 losses, the hidden bullseye was behind a product that the contestant selected, but did not hit the target with. In 6 of Bullseye's 8 playings this season, the game was played either for a trip, or for a year's worth of stuff. On Friday, Push Over was won when the game was set up where only one block should have been sent to China. Prior to this episode, Push Over had been lost eight straight times under this set up.

Over one third of those Showcases (8/23) were passed by the top winner. Only 3 out of the last 10 one prize games were actually played for only one prize. Even though 1 Right Price has been played 18 times this season, its longest winning and losing streak is a mere 2 games. Flip Flop is now 0-9 this season when flipping and flopping is the correct answer. Overall, this game has been lost 18 straight times when contestants must flip and flop in order to win the game. For only the second time this season, Friday's Showcase winner was not the biggest winner of the day. During the past five seasons, a non-Showcase winner was the biggest daily winner between 7-19 times.

This week's biggest winner: Helen ($35,776) (February 2) Several Pricing Games offered very expensive prizes that set new records, or almost set new records: The $6,177 game table was the second most expensive prize ever offered in 1 Right Price (excluding trips). The most expensive prize was a $6,995 jump rope game offered in season 36. The $5,418 teppayanki table was the second most expensive prize ever offered in One Wrong Price (excluding trips).

For the first time in at least ten seasons, a contestant got all numbers wrong in Temptation. With the loss on Friday, Range Game had a five game winning streak snapped. Now the longest winning streak is three games, currently enjoyed by Double Prices, Now.. or Then and Swap Meet. Just as many car games were won this week (3) than in the previous three weeks combined. The last digit was "9" in the past 7 Lucky $even playings. Not surprisingly, Lucky $even has a record of 1-6 during that span. On Monday, Push Over was played for the 20th time this season. It's currently being played every 4.8 episodes and is on pace to be played 40 times this year. Thursday marked the halfway point of the season, assuming 190 episodes will air. Pricing Game winning percentage (38%) and average total winnings ($63,189 per episode) are well below last season's results (40% and $64,035). The four prize games (Danger Price, Race Game, Shopping Spree, Step Up, Swap Meet, Take Two) have been played a combined 26 times this season.

This week's biggest winner: Toulaphone ($41,001) (January 19) Zero keys were won in Master Key for the first time since February 7, 2006 (Season 34). With the Master Key wipeout, every single Pricing Game (that was played at least once) has been lost at least once this season. The loss also dropped Master Key's winning percentage to 67%. That means Side By Side (6-1) and Now.. or Then (5-2) are now the games with the best records this season. While there are no longer any games with a perfect record, 11 games are still looking for their first win (Golden Road, Hi-Lo, Magic #, Pathfinder, Punch-A-Bunch, Race Game, Take Two, Temptation, 3 Strikes, Triple Play, 2 for the Price of 1). Less than two windows were won in Bonus Game for the first time since October 18, 2006 (Season 35). (Zero windows were won in that playing.) $100 or less has been won in the last seven playings of Punch-A-Bunch.

Other Pricing Games going through lengthy losing streaks: Stack the Deck (6 losses), That's Too Much (11 losses). So far this season, non-car Pricing Games have a combined record of 3-8 when they are played for a car. Only Push Over (one win) and Range Game (two wins) were won. Switching the prices was right in Switch? for only the third time this season. Not switching was the right decision in the previous 9 playings and has been the right decision 14 times overall this season.

Random Stats for the Week of January 11-15

This week's biggest winner: Manuel ($35,918) (Jan. 15) Only three Pricing Games were outright won this week. This beats the futility attained during the week of May 11-15 of Season 37, when only 6 out of 30 Pricing Games were won. Only $206,383 in cash & prizes was won this week, for an average of $41,368 per episode. Before this week, the average daily winnings for this season was $62,729. In addition, less was won this week than in any other five day week since the start of Season 37. On Wednesday's episode, all six Pricing Games offered prize packages over $10,000. That's an extremely rare occurence for a non-special episode. Tuesday's episode featured only one trip. So far this season, all other episodes have offered at least two trips. With its win on Thursday, Secret "X" snapped a six game losing streak. It also snapped an overall Pricing Game losing streak of 18 games. For the second time this season, a contestant failed to find the first two or the last two numbers in Money Game. It's also the sixth it's happened since the start of Season 29. Check-Out was played sixth for the first time since January 4, 2005 (Season 33). Shopping Spree was played sixth for only the second time in its history. It was also the last game of the day on January 11, 2008 (Season 36). Since the start of Season 37, contestants have accumulated, on average, 77.5 cents in Pocket Change (excluding playings with unrevealed envelopes). Fittingly, Pocket Change has an overall record of 12-31 when the car is priced above 75 cents and 9-2 when it is priced at 75 cents. Pocket Change has never been lost when the car is priced at 25 or 50 cents. Out of 81 episodes this season, the second Showcase was the higher priced Showcase 50 times (61.78%). Between Seasons 29 and 37, the second Showcase was more expensive 49.66% of the time. How things have changed: 22 seasons ago, Danger Price (along with Barker's Bargain Bar and Most Expensive) was the most frequently played game, with 38 playings. Meanwhile, 3 Strikes (35 playings) and Hole in One (33 playings) were the most played car games. However, some things do not change - the small prize car games (5 Price Tags, Master Key, Pathfinder, Switcheroo) were all played far less than other car games. View the Season 16 frequency tables

Random Stats for the Week of December 7-11

This week's biggest winner: Karin ($42,323) (December 7) None of the episodes airing this week featured both a small prize and a grocery product game. Only 4 Pricing Games were won this week.

Prior to Friday's episode, the last time it happened was October 27. Despite being lost this week, Lucky $even has a respectable record of 6-6 this season (50%).

Flip Flop has a winning percentage of 11% (1-8), while the winning percentage in Seasons 29-37 was 46% (62-72). Flip Flop has been in a slump for a while. In 2009, this game's record was 5-20 (20%).
