(Originally written on 05/28/14):
The Press-Citizen reported today that
an Iowa City man named Chase Brower recently competed on CBS'"The Price is Right" game show while away at a bachelor party vacation in Hollywood. He got called from the audience to compete:
"It was crazy," he said. "It was just so overwhelmingly amazing. I've never felt that much … I can't quite describe …. Everyone is rooting for everyone, regardless if you knew the people or not. People were just ecstatic being on the show, cheering for strangers."
Brower said when he was chosen as a contestant, he stood there in disbelief. "I just kind of stood there, like, are you kidding me?" he said. "I turned to my buddies and started going nuts and jumped on my buddies."
Brower cannot reveal if or what prizes he won until after the game airs tomorrow morning. Good luck!
Updated on 05/30/14: I don't usually get to watch daytime television due to work, so I missed this episode of "The Price is Right." But I was hoping to provide an update to this story. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything in the local media. So
I reached out to the Press-Citizen on Twitter and learned that Chase Brower unfortunately did not win a prize:
So there you have it. He didn't win any prizes, but he won a once in a lifetime experience!
