Grand Ledge woman wins on The Price is Right

When Megan Valo traveled to California in February, she had no plans to appear on national television.

Or to win things on national television. But that's what happened.

The 22-year-old Grand Ledge resident, and recent Central Michigan University graduate, was working as a traveling Brand Ambassador, representing ZTE, and was in Los Angeles for five days.

"We stopped by the Price is Right to be in the audience," Valo said. "We just thought it would be fun. I was totally not expecting to be on it. They interviewed everybody before the show."

Valo, a Bath native, was selected out of about 300 people to be a contestant and found herself onstage with Price is Right host Drew Carey.

She played the game Double Prices and selected the correct value of a camper and accessories, which was $6,032.

Her prize: a trip to Chile.

"I was thinking, wait, what did I just win?," Valo said. "I am super excited. It was all crazy. It was so fast, it just happened, boom boom boom, I can't even remember half of what I said."

The trip, which is for five nights and six days, will be used as her honeymoon.

"My husband, Emilio Guerrero, and I got married legally here a month ago," Valo said. "We're getting married again in the Dominican (Republic) in December with all our family."
