The Price Is Right, network television's #1-rated daytime program and the longest-running game show in television history, has had a lot of memorable moments over the decades as audience members have tried to win cash and prizes. But Monday's episode was extra-special with a three-way tie on the dollar during the Showcase Showdown, making it one of the greatest moments in game show history!

Monday's Showcase Showdown — three contestants have the opportunity to spin "The Big Wheel" twice and the one with the highest score (without going over a dollar) moves on to the Final Showdown — began with Cathryn landing on 35 cents. Her second spin landed on 65 cents, giving her a dollar and a $1,000 cash bonus. Next up, Manfred spun the wheel, and it landed on 50 cents. As you can guess (and count), his second spin landed on 50 cents, giving him a dollar and a $1,000 cash bonus, too. The third and final contestant was Jessica; she landed on 30 cents with her first spin and hit on 70 cents. Like the other two, she got a dollar and a $1,000 cash bonus.

As far as Drew Carey could recall, it was the first time in the history of The Price Is Right that three people consecutively landed on the coveted $1.

"After the celebration had calmed down, the contestants went back to the Big Wheel to see who would go on for a chance to win a cruise and a car during the final Showcase," CBS reports. "Which competitor broke the tie? Manfred, who then went on to win both a car and a cruise during the final Showcase! Now, that's one successful day."

The show, which is in its 45th season, is produced by FremantleMedia North America, executive produced by Mike Richards and Jennifer Mullin, and hosted by Drew Carey. This is Carey's 10th season as the show's host after taking over for Bob Barker in the fall of 2007.

The Price Is Right is broadcast weekdays (11:00 AM-12:00 PM, ET; 10:00-11:00 AM, PT) on the CBS Television Network.
