Contestant’s Shocking Showcase Showdown
On The Price Is Right, contestant Patrice Masse from Grande Prairie,
Alberta delivered one of the closest bids in the show’s history.
During the Showcase Showdown, he bid $39,500 on a prize package featuring a car,
a Miami trip, and other high-value items.
When Drew Carey revealed the actual retail price—$39,501—the studio erupted.
Masse had missed the exact value by only one dollar, prompting cheers and leaving Carey stunned.
The normally calm host struggled to stay composed, beginning with,
“So, let me tell ya…” as he reacted to the near-perfect bid.
Masse’s incredible accuracy qualified him for a rare Double Showcase opportunity,
marking the moment as one of the show’s most memorable close-call wins.
