History was made on “The Price is Right” as the television game show gave away the most money ever on the Wheel.
To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Drew Carey hosting the show, contestants were awarded a $10,000 bonus for spinning $1 on the Wheel instead of the usual $1,000. An additional $25,000 would be awarded to anyone who spun another $1.

I love how Drew had to ask on the SECOND spin off “If they hit a dollar again, they don’t get another 25 grand?”
