The price was almost right on Friday’s mind-blowing episode of The Price is Right.
During the Showcase Showdown host Drew Carey was left shocked to the core when one of the contestants bid so close to the actual value of the prize that Carey called it the “best Showcase bid in the history of the show.”
Patrice Masse from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, played the game and made it all the way to the Showcase Showdown. He placed a $39,500 bid on a prize package that featured a trip to Miami and a new car.
When the time came to reveal the actual value of the prize package, Carey was left speechless.
“So, let me tell ya…” he began, as the crowd and Masse anxiously awaited the results.
“Thirty-nine thousand, five-oh-one.”

Masse’s bid was within $1, meaning he won both prize packages.
According to the current rules, any contestant who comes within $250 without going over wins both showcases. Masse’s incredible guess made him one of the show’s rare Double Showcase Winners.
Congratulations, Patrice! What an awesome win. That will for sure go down as one of the best wins in the history of game shows.

The Great Freeway Phone Caper…
It was a sunny Saturday, and I was cruising down the freeway with my wife. Music was blasting, and everything felt perfect—until it didn’t. Suddenly, I remembered I needed to check something on my phone.
“Why are you pulling over?” my wife asked, confused.
“Hand me my phone!” I replied, my voice filled with urgency.
“We’re on the freeway!” she exclaimed, wide-eyed.
“Hand. Me. My. PHONE!” I insisted, feeling a sense of impending doom if I didn’t check it immediately.
She glanced at the cars whizzing by and sighed. “Okay, but this is a terrible idea!”
As I pulled over to the shoulder, I fumbled for my phone, ready to check my social media updates. But just then, a squirrel dashed across the road, causing a car to swerve wildly.
“See? This is exactly why we don’t pull over on the freeway!” my wife said, shaking her head.
I finally got my phone in hand and turned to her with a sheepish grin. “You know, I didn’t even remember what I needed to check. I just wanted an excuse to stop and grab a snack!”
She rolled her eyes. “You mean to tell me we could’ve just waited until the next exit for a snack?”
“Yep!” I chuckled. “But at least we have a good story now, right?”
Moral of the Story: Sometimes, it’s better to be patient and think things through before making a rash decision. And never underestimate the power of a good snack break—just make sure it’s safe!
