Gwinnett resident Taj Coley appeared on "The Price is Right" on Tuesday — and she was super excited about it.
When she was called to come on down, she sprinted to the stage.
"You got down here quick," host Drew Carey said. "I barely had time to get down from up there to over here."
It took several tries, but Coley — donning a lime green shirt that read "pick me — a sweet Georgia peach" — eventually made it to the stage by placing the winning bid on collection of scuba gear. She told Carey she was in the U.S. Navy, which she joined to "pay for college."
She proceeded to win a six-night trip to St. Lucia during the "Double Prices" game — and then sprinted back into the crowd to celebrate with friends.
She later spun 15 cents and 35 cents on the wheel, failing to get to the Showcase Showdown.
Watch the full episode here. Coley is featured prominently at the 18- and 31-minute marks.
