A recent Price Is Right contestant was too nervous to look at the results of her game as host Drew Carey revealed them, but fans applauded her.

During the June 6 episode of the hit CBS game show, contestant Cheryl, who wore a poofy red tulle skirt and a homemade shirt that said: “Pick Me, Pick Me. I’m Ready to Come on Down,” made it to the stage to meet Carey after guessing the nearest retail price of bespoke Helen Ficalora jewelry.

Announcer George Gray told the contestant, whose shirt also featured her bucket list for the game, including winning tickets, a spin on the wheel, and the Showcase, that she’d win a brand new 2025 Hyundai Kona SEL if she won a game of One Away.

One Away requires players to guess a number of either greater or lesser value than the displayed number on the board.

In Cheryl’s game, the numbers on the board were in the order of $38,216, which could’ve been the price of the new SUV.

With some support and guidance from the studio audience, the contestant began to guess the actual price of the car, changing the first number to two, followed by a seven, one, zero, and seven.

In feverish anticipation, Cheryl thought she won the game and exclaimed, “I got it!” However, Carey reminded her the round wasn’t over yet. “We don’t know yet. These aren’t right automatically as soon as we flip them over,” he said.

Cheryl then had to ask the sound effects lady to confirm how many of the board’s numbers were correct. After repeating the numbers in a sequence, she learned that she had three right.

The contestant then had the opportunity to change two numbers to reveal the right price. She first chose to change the first number to a three and then the middle number from seven to nine.

She also requested to change the last digit to five, which resulted in the final price becoming $27,305.

Cheryl quickly asked if she could close her eyes before Carey revealed whether she won or not. “Can I look that way?” she said.

She covered her eyes and turned her back on the audience as Carey slowly revealed if each number was correct, and all of them were, meaning the player walked away with the new car.

Unfortunately, Cheryl didn’t fulfill her entire bucket list, as she missed out on winning the Showcase Round.

Players Brenda and Brady battled it out in the Showcase, with Brady bidding $35k on a trip to Vienna and a sedan.

Brenda bid $25k on designer sunglasses, a trip to the Maldives, and a boat, but Brady ended up winning.

Still, fans were more interested in Cheryl’s winning after the game show posted her big moment on their Instagram.

Many congratulated her in the comments section and also praised her adorable reaction.

“Her not looking was one of the cutest things I’ve seen in my life! I’m so glad she won,” one person wrote.

“I’m so happy she was she was so cute,” another added, as a third said: “I’m so impressed she did so well!!”

A fourth praised: “I love her she’s the cutest! So happy for her,” as a fifth commended: “She deserves this BIG WIN.”

Yet another gushed: “This was so exciting to watch yesterday!!”
