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).
