Variety forgets the rules.  Joe did it a lot less pedantically than I was
going to.

And the $31,500 will probably stand as a record because it is
mathematically near impossible for all five chips to land in the $10,000
slot.  Which is, because "Price" doesn't consider a game "won" unless the
largest prize or prizes available is/are actually won, no one contestant
that has played Plinko in the over 35 years that the game has been
played--usually once a week for most of that time--is officially considered
a "winner."  And don't think that the producers (including LeBron James) of
the show that is essentially high-stakes Plinko called "The Wall" didn't
consider the odds when developing the show (or ripping off "Price"--your
choice).
