Ryan broke the record for the game of Plinko, in which the contestant earns chips by correctly guessing the numbers of four, two-digit priced products shown, and then drops these chips onto the Pinko board. The chips then fall onto a possible $0, $100, $500, $1000 or $10,000 marker on the board. Ryan won all four chips and dropped them on the board to earn a collective $31,500, breaking the game’s record and blessing the world with an epic reaction.
