While this was an incredible achievement, it’s may not technically be the “best” or most “perfect” bid in the history of The Price Is Right.
On the June 7, 2024 episode of The Price Is Right, contestant Patrice Masse from Grande Prairie, Alberta came within one dollar — a single buck!
That’s thousands of shows, and thousands of Showcases, the climactic battle between each show’s two winning contestants to see who can take home even more fabulous prizes. But today’s Showcase was special.
Masse had bid $39,500, while the actual retail price of his Showcase was … $39,501.
