When you combine the infectious feeling of watching someone winning on game shows and that someone is living the dream of playing Plinko, you get this incredible video. Ryan Belz from Pennsylvania has become a viral sensation after setting a brand new daytime Plinko record yesterday, hitting the $10,000 slot THREE times to rake in a total of $31,500- beating the former record of $30,500.

 

If you’re ever lucky enough to be on the show, pay attention to where he places the chip. As a super-fan of the show, Ryan told our sister station, Kiss 92.5, that he’s studied the game over the years and knew where to place the chips for the highest chance of getting the coveted jackpot.

 

 Let’s see that again…

In case you’re wondering, Ryan revealed that his winnings were subject to a 7% tax California state tax and will be subject to income tax as well. Meanwhile in Canada, we don’t have to pay tax on any of our winnings – lotto, game shows, or radio contests 😉

 

(NOTE: A U.S. Army solider won $40,000 in 2002, but that was for a special edition of the show specifically for the military, and the prizes were higher. Another contestant walked away with $41,000, but again, that was for a special edition of the show called the “Million Dollar Spectacular.”)

 

This might be our favourite Price is Right video since Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul pre-celebrity appearance on the show:
