The price is… right there!
“The Price Is Right” model Manuela Arbelaez accidentally revealed the correct price of a vehicle up for grabs before the game was over.
Host Drew Carey gave the contestant, Andrea, three chances to correctly guess the price of a Hyundai Sonata SE. She was given a list of five possible dollar amounts.

Andrea first selected $19,849. When the model revealed that was the incorrect answer, she also erroneously lifted the $21,960 tag off the sign, showing the later was the right price.
The contestant exclaimed, “I won it!” as Manuela covered her mouth in disbelief and hid behind the set piece in embarrassment.

“Congratulations. Manuela just gave you a car,” Drew said to Andrea.
Manuela took to Twitter to acknowledge her blooper on Thursday.
“I don’t usually give expensive gifts, but when I do is a $21,960 CAR. #YoureWelcomeAndrea #WokeUpFeelingGenerous,” she Tweeted.
The model joked that she had an Oprah moment, drawing a comparison to when the talk show host famously gave away a car to her entire audience.

“Hey @Oprah now I know what it feels like to be you! Whenever you feel like giving cars away on the show let me know. @PriceIsRight,” Manuela wrote in another Tweet.
Don’t worry, Manuela did not hit the chopping block for her gaffe. She assured concerned viewers that her bosses aren’t mad at her.
“For those of you asking: the producers and @DrewFromTV couldn’t have been more supportive and understanding. I’m not in trouble 🙂 phew!” she Tweeted.
Congrats, Andrea, on your new set of wheels… by default.
