He got a new car and some gas money to go along with it! A The Price Is Right contestant had fans screaming in the audience after his near-perfect game.
Justin Buckner won the second item up for bid on June 1. His win was posted to the game show‘s Instagram on July 16. “He didn’t even need all the chances!” the post was captioned. “He didn’t hesitate once.”
Buckner bid $601 on an Omega juicer and four crystal glasses. He had the highest bid and won it, moving on to play a game for a bigger prize.
The Price Is Right contestant played Money Game for a KIA K4. Money Game is a game played for a car and smaller money amounts.
In this game, the contestant had to try to correctly get the price of the car. If the numbers are correct, there will be a half of a car symbol behind it. If it is wrong, there is a dollar sign behind it, but they still win that amount of cash.
The contestant is given the third digit in the car. They have to figure out the first two and last two. For Buckner, the middle number was four.
“Don’t get four wrong. Once you get four wrong, the game is over,” host Drew Carey said.
The contestant chose 2 as the first two numbers, and he was correct. The crowd went crazy and started shouting numbers at him.
He listened to one of them and picked 54. Sadly, that was wrong, but he still won $54.
