In Friday’s astounding episode of The Price is Right, the price was almost correct.
During the Showcase Showdown, a participant placed a bid so close to the item’s true value that host Drew Carey referred to it as the “best Showcase bid in the history of the show.”
Patrice Masse, of Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, advanced to the Showcase Showdown while playing the game. He bid $39,500 for a prize package that included a new car and a trip to Miami.
When it came time to reveal the prize package’s true value, Carey was speechless.
He started, “So, let me tell you…” while Masse and the throng were waiting impatiently for the outcome.
“Three thousand, eighty-one.”
Watch the crazy moment in the following video.
Since Masse’s bid was less than $1, he took home the two prize packages.
According to current regulations state that the winner of both showcases is the competitor who comes within $250 without going over. Masse was one of the few Double Showcase winners of the show because of his amazing guess.
Patrice, congratulations! What a fantastic victory! That will undoubtedly rank among the greatest victories in game show history.
