anyone know somebody who was on a game show & won?

[QueBert]

was watching some game show clips on Youtube and got to thinking about gameshows, the mom of my friend growing up was on Price Is Right, she won some crappy dolls and a Ford Festiva. A free car is nothing to sneeze at, but to win a Festiva is pretty lol.

A family friend of ours won around $6,400 playing Plinko on the Price Is Right. (This was before they dramatically increased the amount of money you can win on Plinko)

My sister claims to know someone from college who won furniture on the Price is Right but talked them into giving her cash since she had no room for furniture. I'm not sure how much I believe that one though.

I know a girl that won the Jeopardy Teen Tournament. I believe she won an annuity or scholarship.

A friend won 64k on Who wants to be a millionairre... (or was it 32k? It was quite a while ago.)

One of my dad's friends' wife won a decent amount of stuff on the price is right I guess. No car, but quite a few appliances and stuff IIRC which they sold about half as the taxes were terrible.

Girl I went to high school with was on that Nickelodeon "Figure It Out" show and won some kind of trick. I forget what her hidden talent was, but I was shocked as hell when I saw her on a re-run of the show.

When I was in school for the Marines a friend of mine won a Chevy Cavalier on the price is right.
