You’ve probably seen this by now, as it went viral pretty much the moment it happened.

On Monday December 30, Price Is Right contestant Sheree Heil won an Audi R8 V8 Spyder Quattro S-Tronic, (which is some type of car, I’m led to believe) valued at $157,000.

It’s the most expensive car the show’s ever given away, and Sheree won it by playing the game Gas Money. The win made her the The Price Is Right‘s biggest daytime winner ever. 

When she did win, she seemed quite pleased; you might be able to spot it if you watch this clip from the 5:46 mark.

Sheree had said that going on The Price Is Right was “on her bucket list”. She even had a T-shirt made that said so, to drive the point home to the show’s producers, (and to help get her selected).

At this time of year, when we’re all reflecting on the last year and making plans for the next one, by way of those dreaded New Year’s resolutions, I think Sheree’s story serves as an inspiration. So if one of your New Year’s Resolutions is to “finally try your luck on a game show”, I’m certain that Sheree’s advice to you would be exactly the same as mine….

GO FOR IT! You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

I’ll keep posting info here about game show auditions and opportunities, and tips and hints that will hopefully be helpful when you do get through, to help those vague dreams and resolutions become reality.

Fortune favours the bold.

Who knows? Perhaps the next game show victory dance viral video will be starring you!

Happy New Year, everyone.

May 2014 be happy, healthy and prosperous for you and yours.
