This is one I haven't heard before...I imagine it was shared on the Golden Road board, but I wasn't able to turn up anything from a quick search here.
In yesterday's (excellent) Now I Know email newsletter from Dan Lewis, he told the story of a July 2008 taping of TPiR where the contestant played a rigged game of Plinko with a great outcome.
Unfortunately, I don't see a way to link to his telling of the story, other than copy/pasting the whole text here, which could be problematic.
Here is the Reddit thread (https://reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/z1p67/til_that_a_contestant_on_the_price_is_right/c60vfjz/) referenced in the newsletter, which is the first-hand account. A good read if you had not heard this before.
I'd be interested in seeing the version of this game that made it to air if anyone had that episode handy.

I remember Drew telling this story around this time in an interview. I believe it was a promo for the first Ludia Price is Right game that caused this.

I can tell you the air date of that episode is December 5th, 2008, but a couple searches on YouTube didn't come up with anything for that date.
EDIT: I scanned the Golden-Road recap from that day (http://www.golden-road.net/index.php/topic,9514.0.html), and it doesn't look like much out of the ordinary made it past the edit.
