“The Price Is Right” has been on our TV screens for more than 50 years and is STILL setting new records.  Remember Bob Barker and Rod Roddy, we do!

On Friday’s Mother’s Day-themed episode with current host Drew Carey, a contestant won the largest amount for a single game.

A retired veteran named Vanessa won $240,150 in cash and prizes. (!!!)

That’s $227,500 in cash from the Lion’s Share game, and a luxury trip to Morocco, which is valued at $12,650.

The previous record was set in 2016 with $210,000 from the Cliffhangers game.
