	Games - Any Number

Any Number is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price Is Right
. It is played with three prizes -- a car, a three-digit prize or the cash in a piggy bank (in dollars and cents - from $0.12 to $9.87). The contestant can win only one of the three prizes.

Any Number became the very first pricing game ever played on The Price Is Right on its premiere broadcast on September 4, 1972. It is also included among the first five pricing games ever played. The others are Bonus Game, Double Prices, Grocery Game and the first version of Bullseye.

Gameplay

The contestant is shown a board with the three prizes, along with spaces for the numbers in the prices. The first digit in the price of the car is then revealed.

The contestant is then asked to call out a digit, 0 through 9, one at a time, and is revealed wherever it belongs. Each digit only appears once on the board (save for the first digit of the five-digit car).

The contestant wins the first prize whose price is completed. The game is considered a win only if the contestant completes the price of the car.

Trivia

Any Number is one of only two games where winning all of the announced prizes is not possible, the other being Telephone Game
. Likewise, this game is one of the few where it is impossible to not win a prize.

Any Number is also one of only two known pricing games in the current rotation where what is often called the "losing horns" will play without either buzzer immediately preceding it. (The other is Lucky $even
.)

For the first few playings of the game, Anitra Ford would show the contestant an actual piggy bank before the contestant picked numbers. The words "PIGGY BANK" were used instead of the familiar symbol to label the row of digits representing the amount in the piggy bank.
