  FREEHOLD – One lucky Freehold man made history this week on The Price Is Right, winning more than $200,000 in Plinko.

  On Monday’s episode of the game show, Michael Stouber made a name for himself as the show’s biggest daytime winner.

  “Show me the money!! Michael just became the biggest winner in daytime Price Is Right history! Drop a 💲 below, and let’s make it rain!!” read a tweet from the game show’s official account.

  Stouber was a contestant during The Price Is Right’s “Big Money Week” where contestants have the chance to win more cash and bigger prizes while on the show. During “Big Money Week,” contestants can also partake in Million Dollar Plinko, which is where Stouber “made it rain.”
