They broke the bank! Contestants on The Price Is Right somehow managed to spin $1 a record-breaking five times in a row during the Showcase Showdown on Friday, September 22.
A man named Wilbert was the first to score a total of $1 after spinning 25 cents then 75 cents. In honor of Drew Carey's 10th year as the host of the CBS game show, each $1 spin earned the contestants $10,000 in cash, which is 10 times the amount of the usual $1,000 bonus.

The next contestant, Charlotte, landed on the coveted $1 on her first spin, so she also received $10,000, as did third contestant Zacharia, who spun 85 cents then 15 cents.
"Are you kidding me? $30,000!" Carey, 59, exclaimed. "Oh my goodness. What?! What is happening?"
Because all three contestants each spun a total of $1, they got a chance to spin the wheel once more for a chance to win a $25,000 bonus. Amazingly, Wilbert and Charlotte both landed on $1 for the second time, adding $25,000 to each of their bank accounts.
