A recent Price Is Right contestant took a tumble after winning a whopping five figures while spinning the wheel. During the April 18 All Cash Friday episode of the hit CBS game show, longtime host Drew Carey told player Sabrina she had the chance to win $50k if she won a game of Punch-a-Bunch. According to the game show's website, Punch-a-Bunch sees a player identify whether the prices of small prizes are higher or lower than displayed incorrect prices to earn punches on a fifty-hole punchboard.
Carrie Underwood 'pushed' for American Idol show crew felt was 'inappropriate' Paul McCartney reveals why he used secret fake name on classic song Dollar amounts in the punched holes are revealed, with the contestant having the option of taking the dollar amount or giving it back to accept the dollar amount in the next punched hole. First, Sabrina had to guess if items were higher or lower than the given price to earn punches. The first was an electric wok with two chopsticks and a steaming rack.
It was priced at $40, and she said it was higher. The wok was $80, so she was correct and earned one punch. An insulated cooler was priced at $60.
Sabrina said it was lower and she was correct, as it was $23. A digital scale was price at $19. The player said it was higher, and it was, retailing at $30.
The fourth item was a book light, priced at $55. She guessed lower. It was $15, so she earned her fourth punch.
After she punched the four slots, Carey revealed the dollar amounts she won. The first was $1,000, but she threw it away to try for more. The second card was $5,000, which she also threw away.
This worked out for her as the third card was $10k and she decided to keep the money and not look at the fourth card. However, Carey showed her anyway and it read $5k. Later, Sabrina had even more luck while spinning the wheel.
Her opponents Josh and Omar spun 60 and 80, respectively. Sabrina spun a 50 twice, equaling to 100, which gave her $1k. She got the chance to spin again to try to land on the five, 15, or 100, to try and win more money.
If a player lands on $1, they win $25k, and that's exactly where Sabrina landed. DON'T MISS..

A player had an extremely lucky Showcase win despite bidding $17k under the actual retail price. During the April 11 episode, two contestants, Anita and James, battled it out in the Showcase round for some incredible prizes . Carey asked announcer George Gray to reveal their packages, with James passing trips to Washington DC, Vancouver, and Tokyo to Anita, who bid $23k on them.
James' package included a TV, a popcorn cart, an oven, a baking package and a sedan, which he bid $31k on. Carey then revealed the winner. Anita's bid was under $17k of the actual retail price while James' was over, meaning Anita walked away the winner.
