In June, “The Price is Right” made headlines when a mega fan beat the Plinko record. Now the delightful daytime gameshow has made history again for giving away a mammoth $80,000 during the Big Wheel segment alone! WFAA writes that in celebration of Drew Carey’s 10th season as host, “…anyone who lands on $1.00 while spinning the wheel gets $10,000 straight away.”

All three contestants who stepped up to the wheel had the perfect touch, and they each spun $1.00 right after one another! The crowd went wild, and Carey looked thrilled for the contestants. Then, on their second spin, two out of the three contestants landed on $1.00 yet again. This time, their winnings were amped up to $25,000, so both of them received $35,000!

“According to CBS, it was the most money ever spun on the wheel. Add in the fact that every contestant on the show won their pricing game’s too and Friday’s episode will go down in Price is Right history,” WFAA wrote.

Clips from the crazy moment can be seen in the official video from “The Price is Right” below. Carey’s laugh after the second contestant lands the $25,000 win makes it well worth the watch.
