Middletown woman wins car on ‘The Price is Right’

A Middletown woman never will forget her favorite number.

Aunjanna Million, with only $1 left to guess the price of a car on today’s “The Price is Right,” guessed nine, her favorite number, she told host Drew Carey.

The last number was nine.

So Million won the $17,689 Hyundai car.

After being told the first digit was 1 in the Lucky Seven game, Million guessed the second number was 7 and was right. Then she guessed 5 and the number was 6. Then she guessed 3 and the number was 8, leaving her $1 out of her original $7.

“That was amazing,” Carey said.

Million qualified to win the car because her guess on the price of an iPhone 10 with a charger was the closest of the contestants. She guessed $1,200 and the retail price was $1,209.

Ironically, Million said, one of her cousins recently bought an iPhone 10.

When she ran onto the stage, Carey, a native of Cleveland, asked where she was from. She said Middletown, Ohio.

He said he would “root extra hard for her” because she was from Ohio.

Million, 24, a 2012 Middletown High School graduate, called the experience “amazing” and said Carey made her feel comfortable.

“It was a thrill,” Million, who said she grew up watching the game show, told the Journal-News.

Million said she guessed nine for the last digit in the price of the car because that had been her soccer jersey number since she was 3 years old. Her birthday also is Oct. 9.

Million was in California with three Ohio University classmates: her cousin, Ayanna Morgan from Middletown, Rachel Woods from Columbus and Zari Rose from California. They take a girls trip every year, she said, and this summer, they traveled to Los Angeles.

Million’s win means she will have to pay the 7 percent sales tax, or $1,238.23, for the car, she said.

Million hopes to pick up the car in a few weeks. She’ll be easy to spot: the car will have a “Price is Right” license plate.
