The price was almost right on Friday’s mind-blowing episode of The Price is Right.
During the Showcase Showdown host Drew Carey was left shocked to the core when one of the contestants bid so close to the actual value of the prize that Carey called it the “best Showcase bid in the history of the show.”
Patrice Masse from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, played the game and made it all the way to the Showcase Showdown. He placed a $39,500 bid on a prize package that featured a trip to Miami and a new car.
When the time came to reveal the actual value of the prize package, Carey was left speechless.
“So, let me tell ya…” he began, as the crowd and Masse anxiously awaited the results.
“Thirty-nine thousand, five-oh-one.”
Watch the insane moment in the video below.
Masse’s bid was within $1, meaning he won both prize packages.
According to the current rules, any contestant who comes within $250 without going over wins both showcases. Masse’s incredible guess made him one of the show’s rare Double Showcase Winners.
The excitement in the studio was palpable as the audience erupted into cheers, realizing that Patrice Masse had just pulled off one of the most astonishing bids ever on The Price is Right.

“This has never happened like this before,” Carey exclaimed, still in disbelief. “In all my years of hosting, I’ve never seen a bid this close to the actual price. Patrice, you just made Price is Right history!”
As the confetti rained down, Patrice could hardly believe his good fortune. The audience, sensing the significance of the moment, gave him a standing ovation. Not only had he won a dream vacation and a brand-new car, but he also scored both prize packages in what will be remembered as one of the most precise bids ever seen on the iconic game show.
Patrice, who had traveled all the way from Alberta, Canada, was overcome with emotion. “I can’t believe it!” he shouted as he hugged Carey and waved to his cheering supporters. “This is beyond anything I ever imagined. I’ve been watching this show for years, but I never thought I’d actually win—and definitely not like this!”
As the show wrapped up, Carey took a moment to reflect on the significance of the win. “This is why people love The Price is Right,” he said. “It’s moments like these that remind us anything can happen, and today, Patrice proved that.”
With his unforgettable victory, Patrice has secured his place in game show lore, joining the elite ranks of Double Showcase Winners. His precise $1-off bid will be talked about by fans and future contestants for years to come, forever enshrined in The Price is Right history.
