“I literally think I manifested being on the show because I kept thinking it and saying it out loud. I kept saying, ‘Come on down, Lily Ramos,” she said. “I just imagined that I was already on the show and that I would be called.”
In the end, the southern California native’s positive thoughts propelled her even further that day. She came out on top and won the grand prize, but not without a few twists and turns throughout the game.
Ramos had to secure her spot on the show by bidding, without going over, the price of various college-related prizes. The closest bidder would get invited on stage for more gameplay.
Ramos was the closest bidder, winning a smart whiteboard that cost $2,100 and a ticket onstage to play the grocery game, which could result in a $30,000 win.
