The Price Is Right contestant Talia MacLean played a perfect game of Gas Money and won herself a brand new car on Friday, October 3. Overcome by the moment, the contestant had a dramatic reaction to her win and fell to the floor.
MacLean, from Cleveland, Ohio, won the third item up for bid, which was a stainless steel three-rack dishwasher. She had the highest bid of $2,000 and won since it was $2,400. MacLean then made her way to the stage to play Gas Money for a 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross L.
The way the game works is that there are five prices listed on a board, one of which is the price of the car. The game show contestant has to guess the ones that are not the price of the car. If they succeed, they win the money on the back of the card, which totals $10,000, as well as the vehicle. However, a contestant can decide to stop at any point and take the money option if they wish to do so.
MacLean started with $22,840. The car had $3,000 on the back of the card, so she continued. She then picked $23,910 and won $4,000. MacLean screamed as host Drew Carey said she had $7,000.
The Price Is Right contestant decided to keep going and picked $27,349. That had $2,000 on the back, and she jumped up and down as the audience cheered.
Carey asked her if she wanted to stop at $9,000 because if she turned over the car on the next one, she would lose everything. MacLead decided to go for it and picked $25,095. The card had $1,000 on the back of it, so that meant she won the car and $10,000.
“YES!” Drew Carey yelled.
MacLead fell to the floor and cried. She put her hand up to her mouth in shock and then got up and ran over to the car. After sitting in the car, MacLead leaned over the car and hugged it before running around it screaming, “Oh my God!”
She went over on the Showcase Showdown with $1.70, so she did not advance to the Showcase.
“Don’t know why, but seeing a contestant get that emotional hits me right in the feels,” a Reddit user said.
“She’s got it! Perfect playing!” a YouTuber user wrote.
“Hallelujah, it’s a miracle! Someone wins Gas Money!” said another.
“I would have taken the money! I love her bravery,” one last fan said.
