Someone gets a million bucks on PBS

Wheel of Fortune isn't the only TV show that can have a million dollar payday.

A woman who brought in some carved Chinese jade to PBS' Antiques Roadshow probably didn't know how valuable her inheritance was. The jade is worth $1 million, and it's the highest price given to an item on the show. She got the jade from her dad, who bought it in China when he was in the military in the 1930s or 40s. The episode won't be shown until next year.

I once sold something on ebay and got $40.

Don't have a date planned for Valentine's Day? How about Bob Barker? He'll be appearing in primetime on CBS this February 14th for a million-dollar episode of The Price is Right. Instead of the usual blenders and hot tubs, contestants will have some really awesome prizes to win like luxury cars, exotic vacations, and a chance to spin the wheel for $1 million. Can you imagine the tongue kiss Bob Barker will get if some crazed person actually wins that much dough?

Fun facts about The Price is Right that will blow your mind:

On the air for 34 years
1.3 million people in the studio audience
50,000 people have made it to contestants' row
More than $260 million in prizes
