The price was right, but the prize was just a little too close to home.
A Massachusetts woman had the thrill of a lifetime when she won a vacation on “The Price is Right” — except it was a five-day trip to neighboring New Hampshire.
The real kicker? Her flight to the Granite State is from Los Angeles, where the game show is taped.
Catherine Graham recently flew out to California and attended a taping of the popular game show, hosted by comedian Drew Carey, in episode that aired on Feb. 1.
After correctly guessing a winning bid, she joined Carey on the stage for the chance to win a major prize in the game “Side by Side,” when she learned that the prize was a vacation to a state she’s visited “a million times.”
“My face says it all. I said ‘Oh you’re kidding.’ Drew goes ‘Oh that’s great. Congratulations, New Hampshire is beautiful!’ I go ‘Drew, I live in Boston!’” Graham told WBZ-TV.
