'Price Is Right' Contestants Make History With Three-Way Tie
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com/AP) — "Price is Right" history was made on Monday's episode when a trio of contestants spun $1 on the game show's colorful wheel.
The three contestants each landed on different combinations of $1 in a pair of spins during one of the show's showcase showdowns.
The game show famously awards contestants who earn $1 on the wheel without going over a $1,000 prize and a chance to spin again.
"The Price is Right" host Drew Carey pumped his fist in the air after the contestants achieved the first three-way $1 tie in the show's history .
The three contestants celebrated by jumping up and down while embracing in a group hug.
The tie stunned viewers who took to Twitter to express their shock.

IF players are spinning in this equilibrium, the odds of three $1.00s on the #priceisright wheel is 0.078%.
