Drew Carey has seen a lot during his time on The Price is Right. However, one thing is so rare that even Carey has to take the time to celebrate it when it happens. That is the Double Showcase winners. There was one way back in 2008, but one just happened again, and Drew was as shocked as ever.

Here is a look at the latest big winner.

Contestant Wins Double Showcase On Price Is Right

On Monday’s Price is Right episode, two contestants were looking at winning the Showcase round, and in a surprising move, the first contestant decided to pass on the original showcase. That first showcase had an infrared sauna, massage chair, new Subaru Impreza, and $5,000.

Drew asked Christopher if he wanted to play or pass. When Christopher said he passed, it seemed to surprise Drew. The host admits he would have kept that one, but went on to George, the second contestant. George looked at the prizes, and he bid $34,000.

That brought the second Showcase out, and Christopher was very happy he passed on the first one. The second Showcase had a portable basketball hoop, a home bar, DJ equipment, and the new BMW. It was the car that had Christopher excited as he yelled, “Come on, baby!”

After listening to the crowd yell out their guesses, he bid $52,500 for his package.

When it came time to find out the winner, Drew Carey started out with the first Showcase. He looked at the card and revealed that the prize was $43,000, missing the total by $9,000. Then, he looked at Christopher’s Showcase number and seemed in shock.

“Ok, get ready,” Drew said before announcing the value of the second Showcase was $52,534. This means that Christopher only missed it by $34, which was close enough to ensure that he won not only his Showcase, but he got both of the Showcases. “Double Showcase winner. Double Showcase winner,” Drew said. “Go get it.”

The fans swept into the comments on the Instagram share to congratulate Christopher on his big win.

  • “This was first Double Showcase Winner in prime time since 2008.”
  • “Winner, winner, winner! & a Double showcase winner is amazing! Wow!”
  • “Two weeks ago I saw a rerun and the guy was under by $1 and won both showcases. Best show on earth, it just makes you feel good”
