On the January 9 episode of The Price Is Right, Cynthia Soriano hit the jackpot despite a playful jab from host Drew Carey.
After making it to the The Price is Right stage by winning the third pricing game, she sported a shirt that declared her single wish: "I just want to spin the wheel." Carey, with his characteristic humor, responded, "You just want to spin the wheel? Alright, then go back to your seat then," drawing laughs before turning things over to announcer George Gray to reveal a stunning fountain blue Chevy Trailblazer LT as the prize up for grabs.
Carey then led her to the notoriously tricky Dice Game asserting, "We're gonna roll some dice, like we're in Vegas. Me and you."
In this intense game, players must guess the price of a car based solely on the first digit provided, while the remaining digits can range from one to six, much like rolling dice. If Soriano's guesses for the digits are incorrect, she must then determine whether the true price is higher or lower than her initial guess.

Ironically, her first roll didn't make it over the line, requiring a redo, yet she persevered, showcasing the unpredictability and thrill of the beloved game show, reports the Express US.
Fortunately, her subsequent roll turned out to be a triumph when she landed on a one, instantly guaranteeing her victory for that number. She then rolled a two and called it higher, followed by a five, which she anticipated would be lower, and finally, she rolled a four.
Before making her final guess, Soriano turned to the audience for their input. Carey then disclosed the correct answers, explaining each number she had rolled, with her victory hinging on the accurate prediction that the last digit was greater than 4.
"Let’s go, sweetheart," Carey exclaimed, as he rubbed the number board for some extra luck. The last digit appeared, showing a 5, ensuring Soriano's victory and a brand new SUV valued at $26,335.
She burst into screams and started bouncing with excitement as Carey motioned for her to take a look at her new vehicle. In the comments on the video, one viewer expressed: "It’s amazing to see people achieve such great things!"
One more person chimed in, saying, "Woohoo, Cynthia! Have fun with your new ride!" A different commenter remarked, "It’s so uplifting to witness those who have less achieve success instead of the rich who already have it all."
An Instagram user enthusiastically commented: "Amazing jobcccccc!" Earlier in the show, Carey found it hard to "fault" a contestant following a notably "daring" game.
In the game show Let 'Em Roll, contestant Jeffrey was given a single roll of five dice and had the opportunity to earn additional rolls by participating in a pricing challenge. He faced a difficult decision as he needed to determine if the price of plant-based Country Crock Heavy Whipping Cream was higher or lower than that of four pounds of Zulka Pure Cane Sugar.
He bet that it was more expensive, leading host Carey to remark that he was "following the crowd," even though it was actually cheaper. Later in the game, Jeffrey accurately figured out that Harvest Snaps Baked Green Pea Snacks were cheaper than the whipping cream, earning himself an additional roll of the dice.
By a fortunate turn of events, his first roll resulted in two car symbols and a cash prize of $3,500. Carey presented him with a decision: he could either take a chance and re-roll for the possibility of winning the car or simply take the cash and walk away.
Without a moment's doubt, Jeffrey chose the safer route. "I've got $3,500 available at the moment," he informed the seasoned host, who nodded in agreement.
Choosing to play it cautious, Jeffrey said, "I'm going for the cash, man. I'm going for the cash," turning down the opportunity to win a Volkswagon Jetta S worth more than $23,000. Carey supported his choice, stating, "I totally understand! I would have made the same call," as they shared a handshake.
