The Bid That Made History

As Drew Carey revealed the total, his voice wavered with disbelief. “Let me tell ya…” he began, pausing for dramatic effect before reading the number: $39,501.

That meant Patrice Masse had missed the correct total by only one dollar — without going over. According to the show’s rules, a contestant who comes within $250 of the actual price automatically wins both showcases, making Masse one of the rare Double Showcase Winners in the program’s history.

The crowd erupted, Carey threw up his hands in amazement, and Masse stood frozen in joyful disbelief. Fans online have since dubbed the moment one of the most incredible wins ever captured on The Price Is Right.

It’s not every day someone guesses perfection — but on that Friday, Patrice Masse did exactly that, securing his place in game show legend.
