You could be the next contestant on The Price Is Right without ever leaving Lawrence. No, Drew Carey won’t be calling your name to “come on down,” but this Saturday at 10 p.m., Student Union Activities will host its own version of the popular daytime game show.
This is the second year for SUA’s Late Night Price Is Right, and it will be held in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Last year, the event attracted about 500 students, and Shawn Bowers, SUA director of public relations and Overland Park senior, says SUA is hoping for at least that many students this year.
All the games are modeled directly after those on the show, and prizes include a MacBook, Kaplan courses, a game system and the Rock Band video game and many smaller prizes. Bowers says a few bigger ticket items are on the list of possible prizes, but those won’t be revealed until the event. “You can do a lot of things on a Saturday night. You can go out to the bars or go out with your friends, but none of those things are going to give you awesome prizes,” Bowers says.
