In an unforgettable episode of The Price is Right this Friday, a contestant came astonishingly close to a perfect bid, leaving everyone, including host Drew Carey, in awe.
During the high-stakes Showcase Showdown, Drew Carey was stunned when a participant placed a bid so accurate that it nearly matched the actual value of the prize package. Carey couldn’t contain his surprise, calling it the “best Showcase bid in the history of the show.”
Patrice Masse, hailing from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, was the contestant who advanced to this nail-biting stage of the game. He placed his bid at $39,500 for a prize package that included a brand-new car and an all-expenses-paid trip to Miami.
As the moment to reveal the actual value of the prize package approached, the tension in the room was palpable. Carey, known for his quick wit and humor, found himself at a loss for words as he prepared to announce the result.
“So, let me tell you…” Carey began, while Masse and the audience anxiously awaited the final numbers.
“Three thousand, eighty-one.”
The room erupted as the incredible result sank in. Masse’s bid was just shy of the actual value by less than $1, earning him not just one, but both of the prize packages offered in the Showcase
According to the current rules of the show, a contestant wins both showcases if their bid is within $250 of the actual price without exceeding it. Masse’s nearly perfect guess secured him a spot in the show’s history as one of the rare Double Showcase Winners.
“Patrice, congratulations!” Carey exclaimed, still in disbelief. “What an amazing win. This will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest victories in game show history.”
