Patrice Masse of Grande Prairie, Alberta, delivered an unforgettable moment on The Price Is Right with a near-perfect Showcase Showdown bid. Confidently estimating his showcase at $39,500—containing a car, a Miami trip, and luxury prizes—Masse displayed remarkable accuracy and intuition.
When host Drew Carey revealed the actual retail value of $39,501, the studio erupted in disbelief. Carey, visibly stunned, could barely finish his announcement as the audience cheered the extraordinary one-dollar difference. The close call marked one of the most precise bids ever seen on the show.
Because Masse’s bid was within $250 of the correct price without going over, he earned the rare Double Showcase win, taking home both prize packages. The episode became an instant highlight in the show’s history, widely celebrated for its suspense and record-breaking precision.
