Sacramento County man wins "The Price Is Right" grand prize on historic 10,000th episode
CARMICHAEL — A Sacramento County man is $100,000 richer after winning on the historic 10,000th episode of the popular game show "The Price Is Right."
It was a big moment for Ryan Digman and a big milestone for the show.
Digman lives in Carmichael as a single father with his 8-year-old son. They watch "The Price Is Right" together nearly every single day. It's become a fixture in their lives and daily routines, and when Digman saw the 10,000th episode was being taped, he knew he had to be there.
The historic episode aired on Wednesday. Host Drew Carey joined Good Day Sacramento the day before to celebrate.
Little did we know at that time, we had a local winner.
"I ended up being the first person in line at 4:30 in the morning on the day of the taping," Digman said.
He made the journey from Sacramento to Los Angeles solo, donning a shirt for his son that reads "I am a dad on a mission to spin the wheel."
"I got to win a life-changing amount of money for me and my son, and it really kind of makes me cry a little bit still, he said. "You saw me really emotional because times right now are really rough for a lot of people."
In his regular life, Digman works as a disability advocate for youth in Sacramento. On the show, he had a perfect first bid, earning his spot on the stage to play the grand prize game.
"I even told people before I went up there, I said 'I'm going to go on "The Price Is Right" and win $100,000,' and I did," he said.
The experience goes beyond memories. Digman said he's made lifelong friends with other contestants on the show including a woman from Colorado who he plans to see again within the next few weeks.
"You never know. You might see us on an 'Amazing Race' type of journey in the future, connected by this wonderful experience that we've had," Digman said.
Digman spent his 21st birthday as an audience member for the show. This time around, he left as a winner.

Hyundai's latest spot celebrates smart savings and joyful living as part of the acclaimed "OKAY Hyundai" series The campaign features an iconic cast including, beloved actress Kathleen Bradley, known as Ms. Parker from Friday and The Price Is Right FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor America, in partnership with Culture Brands, today launched, "He Got Money," a new campaign spotlighting the 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. As the latest installment in the award-winning "OKAY Hyundai" series, the spot blends humor, cultural familiarity, and savvy financial choices to show how smart savings can make room for joy — and a little flair. In a world where every penny counts, the campaign introduces Sidney, who appears to be living an extravagant lifestyle—much to the suspicion of his sharp-eyed, no-nonsense aunties. As they gather with Sidney's mom to discuss their concerns in lighthearted vignettes, the truth comes to light: Sidney's brand-new Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is the secret behind his savvy spending. Thanks to the hybrid's impressive gas savings, Sidney can enjoy life's little luxuries without breaking the bank. The spot wraps up with smiles all around and the signature stamp of approval: "OKAY Hyundai." This campaign aims to inform and empower our audience about the smart financial choices they can make with the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. "Our latest work with Culture Brands continues to deepen Hyundai's connection with the African American community through storytelling that truly connects and entertains," said Erik Thomas, director of experiential and multicultural marketing, Hyundai Motor America. "'He Got Money' shows how the Tucson Hybrid empowers drivers to enjoy more of what matters—style, comfort, and community—thanks to real savings at the pump." "With 'He Got Money', we wanted to show that you can enjoy life's little luxuries without breaking the bank," said Eunique Jones Gibson, chief creative officer and CEO, Culture Brands. "You can keep your style, make smart choices, and still have the aunties talking." Adding to the cultural flair of the campaign is Kathleen Bradley, famously known as Ms. Parker from the cult classic "Friday" and "The Price Is Right." Her appearance adds nostalgic energy and intergenerational charm to the story. The 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid offers a perfect balance of power and efficiency, featuring a 1.6L turbocharged hybrid engine and standard HTRAC, delivering up to 35 MPG combined. Inside, drivers enjoy advanced tech like a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, plus Hyundai SmartSense safety features including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and Blind-Spot Collision Warning — all designed for smarter, safer driving. "He Got Money" will run across broadcast and digital platforms in both 15- and 30-second formats and influencer partnerships. The campaign is designed to engage audiences with humor and relevance, reinforcing Hyundai's commitment to cultural storytelling and meaningful representation.
