While The Price is Right is off for its summer break, the show is sharing videos from past episodes on its Instagram.
On Wednesday, a clip from a contestant named Joseph was posted.
He played the dice game, where he had to roll the dice and whatever number the dice landed on, he had to guess whether the price of the car was higher or lower than that number.
Joseph first rolled a three and it wasn’t correct, so he guessed it was higher.

The player then drew two and said the number was higher.
When Joseph rolled a six, he could only guess that it was smaller, since six is the highest value a die reaches.
The last number was two and Joseph guessed it was higher.
DREW ERROR
After Joseph made all his guesses, Drew, 66, ran the numbers to see if Joseph would win the car.
He did not enter the order and started with the spot at 6.
“Let’s start with this one, greater than six, please,” said Drew.
A four appeared on the screen and Drew corrected himself.
“I’m sorry, less than six,” he said. “Thanks.”
“I haven’t had my coffee yet.”
Joseph matched all the numbers and won the car.

BIG CELEBRATION
Last month, another contestant won a car and spun one of the models.
Competitor Sanda played Cover Up to try to 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 blank so the correct price can be revealed later.
Numbers are given 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 each space that corresponded to the cost of the prize.
She quickly filled in the first three spaces with the digits “7”, “6” and “4”.
Sandra sought help from the public with the fourth number, eventually choosing “2” from the five numbers above.
The player chose “0” as the last number for the sports car’s price, while Drew read it as “$76,420.”
“There…one, two, three,” he said, only to hear the incorrect sound of the doorbell.
“How many does she have right?”
The “7”, “6”, “2” and “0” lit up, meaning that only the “4” was incorrect.
Drew shouted, “Wow! You got four out of five right,” he told the contestant.
He told her she had one more chance to win the car.
“Cover the four with this eight, this three, or this,” Drew said as he pointed to the remaining numbers.
“If you get it right, you win a brand new Porsche Boxster.”
Following suggestions from the crowd, Sandra covered the four with the eight and returned to the host.
Her hunch was revealed and she was correct.
Sandra screamed and ran to the car that model Alexis Gaube was getting out of.
She spun around in circles with Alexis before getting into her new car.
