A contestant on the game show 'The Price Is Right' won a car in a dramatic finish that had host Drew Carey admitting the game 'drives me crazy.' Cynthia Reynolds from Nashville, Tennessee, won the sixth item up for bid and then went on to correctly guess the prices of all three prizes in the '10 Chances' game, including the final price of the Kia Soul car on her last guess.

Why it matters

The nail-biting finish on 'The Price Is Right' highlights the excitement and suspense the long-running game show can generate, even after decades on the air. The show's ability to still produce dramatic moments that captivate viewers underscores its enduring popularity.

The details

Reynolds bid $1,500 on Dior designer accessories, which was the second-lowest bid. Since the actual retail price was $2,430, and her opponent bid $2,800, Reynolds won the round. She then played the '10 Chances' game, where contestants try to guess the prices of three prizes, including a car, in 10 attempts. Reynolds correctly guessed the prices for the decanter and cookware set, but only had one chance left to get the car price right. She wrote down $21,940, which turned out to be the correct price of the Kia Soul, sending the audience into cheers.
