In a memorable episode of The Price Is Right, contestant Patrice Masse from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, astonished host Drew Carey and the entire audience with one of the most accurate bids in the show’s history. Masse confidently placed a bid of $39,500 on a Showcase package that included a car, a luxury trip to Miami, and several other high-value prizes.
When Carey revealed the actual retail value — $39,501 — he was momentarily speechless. “So, let me tell ya…” Carey began, clearly stunned as the crowd erupted in cheers. Masse’s bid came within just one dollar of the true price without going over, qualifying him for the rare Double Showcase win. This remarkable achievement allowed him to take home both Showcase packages, a feat few contestants have ever managed.
In total, Masse walked away with prizes worth $83,068, including the car, trips to Miami, Milan, and Hawaii, a motorcycle, and designer apparel. Carey praised the moment as “the best Showcase bid in the history of the show,” emphasizing that there was “absolutely no help from anyone in the audience.” His amazement reflected the excitement and energy that filled the studio.
