‘The Price Is Right' Contestant Has the Wildest Celebration After Winning Car
IMDb, the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content.
www.imdb.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reports:
-
A contestant on The Price Is Right set a new single-game payout record of $240,150 on a Mother’s Day episode in May 2026, surpassing the previous mark of $210,000. This makes it the largest single-game payout in the show's 54-year history. Sources summarize the win as including $227,500 cash plus a Morocco trip valued at $12,650, with the total achieved during The Lion’s Share game on CBS.[1][3][9]
-
Several outlets highlighted the moment as a historic peak for daytime game show payouts, noting the record stood for decades and was achieved during a high-stakes Mother’s Day broadcast.[2][7][9]
-
While the basic facts are consistent across outlets, details (such as exact breakdowns of each prize tier won before hitting the final total) are reported slightly differently by outlets, so the core takeaway is the record-setting $240,150 single-game payout on The Price Is Right.[3][7][2]
If you’d like, I can compile a concise timeline of the key moments from the episode and provide a small chart comparing this record to prior single-game records on the show. I can also pull more sources or convert the data into a CSV for your records.
