Adele and Beyonce might want to rub Linda Baquero for good luck. The Marlton woman won more than $78,000 in cash and prizes on "The Price Is Right," including a trip to the Grammys this weekend, after back-to-back dollar spins on the Big Wheel and a winning showcase showdown on Friday's episode.
"Are you having a day or what?" host Drew Carey told Baquero even before her second perfect spin. The trip to the Grammys on Sunday was part of Baquero's showcase winnings, and Baquero also won $26,000 in cash and two cars.
The Grammys Awards will be broadcast live Sunday on Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. from the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles with "Late Late Show" star James Cordon hosting. Beyonce is the most-nominated artist with nine nods, and she and Adele will face off in three categories, including album, song and record of the year.
Baquero is the second South Jersey woman to hit the jackpot on "The Price Is Right" this week. On Tuesday's episode, Kaitlyn Schoeffel of Egg Harbor Township came home with a laptop, $5,000 and showcase that included a trip to Argentina, tango lessons and a boat after she came within $400 of the actual retail price in the Showcase Showdown.
