The Price Is Right Million Dollar Spectacular returns to prime time on CBS Wednesday night (April 30, 8 pm/ET) for a four-week sweeps run.The Drew Carey-hosted specials have proved to be as lucrative for CBS as Plinko is for lucky contestants. Six previous episodes that aired in February, March and early April won their time slots in the key demos — adults 18-49 and 25-54.In fact, one episode in March, in which a contestant won more than $1 million in cash and prizes, ranks among the highest-rated Price specials in the past five years. — J.R.
