Washington state's Sheree L. Heil became the biggest winner in the history of the iconic "Price Is Right" daytime game show when she snagged a $157,300 Audi R8 V8 Spyder Quattro S Tronic.
"The Price is Right," which began in 1972, offered the sporty Audi Spyder Quattro during its Gas Money game, where contestants are required to guess which of five vehicle prices is the actual cost,
reported the Tacoma News Tribune.
Entertainment Weekly noted that the "Price is Right" prime time version has had special shows with larger price winners, including $1 million.

A stunned Heil, from Tacoma, ran around the stage and hopped into the convertible on the passenger's side after eliminating all the incorrect prices, giving her the car and another $10,000, according to the News Tribune.
"The Price is Right" trumpeted Heil's victory on Twitter.
Numerous posters on Twitter commented that Heil's reaction to winning the expensive car, though, is priceless. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_nxqI7DzTc)
"Naturally, as you can see in the video, Sheree was rather excited about her victory — as she should be; although the upcoming tax bill might dampen her mood a touch,"
wrote Alex Lloyd, of Yahoo! Auto's Motoramic blog. "Even host Drew Carey couldn't help but smile incessantly, shouting, 'We just gave out a $157,000 car, everybody.'"
The Business Insider reported that the vehicle, with its V8 engine, delivers more than 400 horsepower and it goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds.
Yahoo! Auto reported that the previous "Price is Right" record winner's record was held by Vickyann Sadowski who won $147,517 back in 2006. Adam Rose won $1,153,908 in 2008 during a special prime time "Price is Right."
Bob Barker hosted the show from its inception until 2007 when comedian Drew Carey took over the microphone.
