While The Price is Right is off for summer break, the show is sharing videos from previous episodes on their Instagram.
On Wednesday, a clip of a contestant named Joseph was posted.
He played the Dice Game, where he had to roll dice and whatever number the dice landed on, he had to guess if the price of the car was higher or lower than that number.
Joseph first rolled a three and it was not correct, so he guessed that it was higher.
The player then rolled a two and said that the number was higher.
When Joseph rolled a six, he could only guess that it was lower since six is the highest a dice goes up to.
The last number was a two and Joseph guessed that it was higher.
DREW’S MISTAKE
After Joseph made all of his guesses, Drew, 66, went through the numbers to see if Joseph would win the car.
He didn’t go in order and began with the slot for 6.
“Let’s start off with this one, higher than a six, please,” Drew said.

A four popped up on the screen and Drew corrected himself.
“I’m sorry lower than a six,” he said. “Thank you.”
“Haven’t had my coffee.”
Joseph got all of the numbers correct and won the car.

BIG CELEBRATION
Last month, another contestant won a car and twirled one of the models around.
Contestant Sanda played Cover Up to try and win a new Porsche.
In Cover Up, the game board has two rows of five spaces at the bottom – one for the player’s guessed numbers and the other is blank so the correct price can be revealed later.
Numbers are provided above each space, two for the first space, three for the second, and so on – up to six options for the fifth space.
Sandra had to choose a number to cover up each space that would hopefully match the cost of the prize.
She quickly filled in the first three spaces with the digits “7,” “6,” and “4.”
Sandra looked at the audience for help with the fourth number, eventually choosing “2” from the five numbers above.
The player chose “0” as the last number of the sports car’s price as Drew read it off as “$76,420.”
“Ready… one, two, three,” he said, only to have the incorrect buzzer sound.
“How many does she have right?”
The “7,” “6,” “2,” and “0” all lit up, meaning only the “4” was incorrect.
Drew yelled, “Whoa! You got four out of five,” he told the contestant.
He told her that she had one more opportunity to win the car.
“Cover up the four with this eight, this three, or this one,” Drew said while pointing at the remaining numbers.
“If you get it right you get a brand new Porsche Boxster.”
Taking suggestions from the crowd, Sandra covered the four with the eight and returned to the host.
Her guess was revealed and she was correct.
Sandra screamed and ran to the car which model Alexis Gaube was getting out of.
She spun in a circle with Alexis before getting into her new car.
