Our friend Ryan here was not only lucky enough to get on the game show, but he got to play Plinko — and boy, did he make it count.
Ryan won a record-breaking $31,500 in the span of a minute and a half, and his reactions make his win exciting even for us non-winning plebes.
As if by magic, his first Plinko chip goes straight into that sweet, sweet $10,000 slot.
Ryan's just a little pumped.
The next chip goes into the $1,000 slot, and Ryan is JUST AS AMPED ABOUT IT because $1,000 is still a lot of coin!
Chip #3 goes right back into the big money $10,000 slot, and OMG DOES ANYONE HAVE A DEFIBRILLATOR ON HAND FOR DEAR RYAN?????
At this point, the crowd is FEELING IT.
The fourth chip earns Ryan $500, which is thrilling and all, but the real magic comes with chip #5. Everyone starts chanting
"Number five! Number five!"
Ryan kisses the magic disc.
And then...sorcery happens.
Ryan takes any remaining shred of chill he had left, tosses it in a bonfire, pours on some gasoline, and watches it burn with glee.
Ryan's performance won him the big bucks, but also a legion of fans.
