‘Price Is Right’ Contestant Shocks Drew Carey with a Near-Perfect Showcase Bid

Friday’s episode of The Price Is Right delivered a moment that will be etched in game show history. Contestant Patrice Masse, hailing from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, left host Drew Carey and the audience stunned with his jaw-dropping accuracy during the Showcase Showdown.

Masse, who had already shown his skill in earlier rounds, placed a bid of $39,500 on a prize package that included an exciting trip to Miami and a brand-new car. The tension in the room reached its peak as Carey prepared to reveal the actual value of the prize package.

“So, let me tell ya…” Carey teased, building suspense for both Masse and the excited crowd. Then came the revelation: $39,501.

A Historic Moment

Masse’s bid was just $1 off from the actual value of the package, a feat that left Carey calling it the “best Showcase bid in the history of the show.” The result? Masse not only won his Showcase but also took home the opposing contestant’s prize package, thanks to the rule granting both showcases to anyone who bids within $250 of the actual price without going over.

A Rare Achievement

Masse’s win places him among the rare and celebrated few to earn the title of Double Showcase Winner. His incredible accuracy was a testament to his sharp instincts and luck, making this moment one of the most unforgettable in The Price Is Right’s long-running history.
