In a memorable episode of The Price Is Right, Patrice Masse from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, made one of the most precise bids in the show’s history. During the Showcase Showdown, he guessed $39,500 for a package that included a car, a Miami trip, and other luxury prizes.
As host Drew Carey revealed the actual price — “$39,501” — the audience exploded in disbelief. Masse had missed the exact amount by just one dollar. Carey, usually calm, was visibly stunned, saying, “So, let me tell ya…” before bursting into laughter and amazement.
Because Masse’s bid was within $250 of the real price without going over, he qualified for the rare Double Showcase win, meaning he took home both showcases.
The crowd’s reaction and Carey’s genuine shock made the moment unforgettable.
The episode quickly went viral online, with fans calling it one of the most “unbelievable” and “perfectly timed” moments in The Price Is Right history. Patrice Masse’s one-dollar miss will long be remembered as a legendary example of luck and precision on the iconic game show.
