San Diego Resident Wins Over $75K In Prizes On 'The Price Is Right'

SAN DIEGO, CA — An active-duty military member from San Diego won more than $75,000 in prizes on the Fourth of July Special of "The Price Is Right."

Daelyn Chaney, 34, appeared on the July 4 episode of the longest-running game show, bidding $42,480 on a showcase that featured a trip to New York City, including a five-night stay at The Westin New York at Times Square, two tickets to a Broadway musical and two tickets to a baseball game. The showcase, valued at $54,797, also included a Dometic outdoor grill and kitchen, a $3,000 gift card from Porter Road and a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport.

"I won!" he shouted after it was revealed his opponent's bid went over the price of her showcase.

Host Drew Carey noted that Chaney won $75,634 worth of prizes in one hour.

"Man, this guy cleaned up!" Carey said.

Chaney, who serves in the U.S. Coast Guard, learned about the opportunity to appear on "The Price Is Right" when he received an email on base seeking military members interested in attending the show. It was his first time appearing on a game show.

"'The Price Is Right' is iconic," said Chaney, who has lived in San Diego for two years. "One of my favorite shows growing up, and a frequent watch in the office when time is available."

Chaney first got on stage by placing the winning big on a collection of drinkware and coolers.

"You've gotta be kidding me," he said when he was called onto the stage. "I told ya I'd make it on. I made it!"

He then played a game of Plinko and won $20,000.

Chaney told Patch he had a "great time" on the show. He enjoyed the "energy" and "classic feel."

"My favorite part was the audience interaction," he said.
