‘Price is Right’ contestant stuns Drew Carey with ‘best Showcase bid in the history of the show’

In Friday’s unforgettable episode of The Price Is Right, one contestant came remarkably close to guessing the exact value of a Showcase prize.

During the Showcase Showdown, host Drew Carey was stunned when Patrice Masse of Grande Prairie, Alberta, placed a bid that came incredibly close to the actual retail price of the prize package.

Masse had made it all the way to the Showcase, where he was presented with a package that included a new car and a trip to Miami.

His bid?

$39,500.

As the moment of truth arrived, Carey appeared genuinely surprised by just how close the contestant had come.

The studio audience waited anxiously as Carey prepared to reveal the actual value of the prize package.

He began:

“So, let me tell ya…”

Then came the number.

$39,503.

Just $3 away from the actual price.

The reaction in the studio was immediate, with Carey and the audience struggling to believe how incredibly close the guess had been.

It was the kind of moment that makes game shows unforgettable—a contestant taking a shot at a huge prize and somehow landing almost perfectly on the number.

Carey reportedly described it as the “best Showcase bid in the history of the show.”

For Masse, what started as a single guess turned into one of those rare television moments that viewers are unlikely to forget.

Sometimes, on The Price Is Right, being close simply isn’t enough.

But being three dollars away is about as close as you can possibly get.
