In a truly unforgettable moment on The Price Is Right, contestant Patrice Masse from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, delivered one of the most astonishing bids in the show’s history.

His performance during the Showcase Showdown captivated both host Drew Carey and the audience, leading to one of the closest bids ever recorded.

Masse confidently placed a bid of $39,500 on a prize showcase that included a sleek car, an exciting trip to Miami, and several additional high-value prizes.

His strategic estimate demonstrated not only precision but also an impressive grasp of the show’s pricing dynamics.

As the tension built, Drew Carey prepared to reveal the actual retail value of Masse’s showcase. The crowd waited in suspense as Carey read the number aloud—$39,501. The realization that Masse had missed the exact value by just one dollar instantly sent the studio into a frenzy.

The audience erupted in cheers, while Carey momentarily lost his composure in disbelief. Known for his typically calm demeanor, Carey could hardly contain his astonishment at the contestant’s near-perfect accuracy. “So, let me tell ya…” he began, visibly stunned by the remarkable outcome.

Masse’s extraordinary precision made him eligible for the Double Showcase win, a rare and coveted achievement on the show. This meant that, by coming within $250 of the actual retail price without exceeding it, he would take home both of the prize showcases.

This episode quickly became a fan favorite, celebrated online and across social media for its thrilling suspense and unexpected result. Patrice Masse’s bid will be remembered as one of the most impressive moments in The Price Is Right’s long-running history.
