One The Price Is Right contestant shocked even the show with their breakdancing skills. A contestant won $100,000 during a game and decided to express his joy through dance.
Mace Maya, who was in California for a breakdancing competition, won the third item up for bid on June 15. His win was reposted to TPIR‘s Instagram page on July 29.
“Oh, he ate that,” the post was captioned. “We’ve never seen a spin quite like this before…”
He bid $2,501, one $1 over the second-highest bidder on two folding smartphones. He won and got to come to the stage to play The Lion’s Share.
In The Lion’s Share, a contestant stands in a small vault with a clear circle in the front. They have to try to collect as many balls as they can within the time limit, and then they come to the board with the balls and see what they have won. It can be a “Lose All,” or they can win all of the prizes. They can also choose to walk away at any point. The highest they can win is $500,000 if they pick five $100,000 balls.
Maya chose two, 15, 19,22, and 35. The game show contestant picked two to start with. There was $100,000 behind the number. Maya walked around the stage with his arms up and then breakdanced on the stage.
“Whoa!” host Drew Carey said.
Carey asked Maya if he wanted to continue. The contestant said that money was life-changing and decided to stop. Maya walked to the center of the stage and screamed, “100 grand!” He then did more flips and dance moves.
The other prizes were revealed to be a camera, a drone, a BMW car, and another $100,000. Maya said it was okay. Carey said he didn’t blame the contestant one bit.
As the show went to commercial, Maya showed off more of his skills. He spun on his head multiple times and kicked his feet out while balancing on his hands.

Maya went on to spin the wheel and spun a 90. Even though that seems like a good number, his opponent, Sally, spun a 95, advancing her to the Showcase.
Fans reacted to his dancing in the comments. “Spin him instead of the wheel,” one joked.
“He went nuts after that $100k he got,” another said.
“This was an unreal moment,” a third added.
“That was awesome!” a fan commented.
“Let’s gooooo!!” one last fan said. Many others commented with fire emojis.
