A moment that will go down in game show history was presented in Friday’s episode of The Price Is Right. During the Showcase Showdown, contestant Patrice Masse, from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, astounded presenter Drew Carey and the audience with his astounding accuracy.
Masse, who had already demonstrated his abilities in previous rounds, bid $39,000 on a prize package that included a brand-new car and an exciting vacation to Miami. As Carey got ready to unveil the true worth of the prize package, the tension in the room peaked.
“All right, let me tell you.” In order to create tension for Masse and the enthusiastic audience, Carey teased. Then the $39,501 was revealed.
A Momentous Occasion
Carey referred to Masse’s bid as the “best Showcase bid in the history of the show” because it was only $1 less than the package’s true value. The outcome? Because the rule gives both showcases to anyone who bids within $250 of the actual amount without going over, Masse not only won his showcase but also took home the prize package from the other contestant.
An Uncommon Accomplishment
With his victory, Masse becomes one of the exclusive and renowned few to be named the Double Showcase Winner. His remarkable accuracy was a result of both good fortune and keen intuition, making this one of the most memorable moments in The Price Is Right’s lengthy history.
Patrice Masse deserves congratulations for his amazing victory! If you enjoy watching moments like this that remind us why game shows are so exciting, please share this story if you love The Price Is Right.
