Four numbers were missing after that.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the smart TV and piggy bank each had three missing digits. The contestant could choose from zero through nine on the top of the board to try to get the price of the car.<\/p>\n<p>He would win that prize if he filled in the TV or piggy bank\u2019s digits before the car\u2019s digits. In the case of the piggy bank, it was less than $10.<\/p>\n<p>His first digit went to the piggy bank, and Drew joked that he could buy a sandwich with that money.<\/p>\n<p>After that, the contestant had better picks and ended up with one missing digit in each prize\u2019s price.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the final number he chose went to the piggy bank, and production played the sad horn sound effect for a lost game. While the contestant didn\u2019t lose entirely, he won just $9.25 instead of a new car or TV.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe good news is nine dollars is the most you can win in the piggy bank, so that\u2019s something,\u201d Drew told him as he put a hand on his shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnjoy your double burger,\u201d the host said, throwing his hands up.<\/p>\n<p>Drew also mentioned that the contestant won a shuffleboard since he had the closest bid from the Contestants\u2019 Row. Following his Any Number piggy bank prize, he would also get to spin the wheel in the Showcase Showdown, and possibly go to bid on a prize package at the end of the show.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Price is Right - Can It Be Any Number?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8Dgjzwic_BY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fans slammed TPIR for spotlighting the Any Number highlight<\/h2>\n<p>In the comment section on the show\u2019s video, multiple fans took issue with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monstersandcritics.com\/tv\/the-price-is-right-host-drew-carey-reprimands-contestant-after-big-win\/\">The Price Is Right<\/a> for presenting the disappointing highlight clip on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShowcasing a loss on the YouTube channel is nasty work lol,\u201d one commenter wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Another posted, \u201cIgnored dumb Drew\u2019s joke about buying a stupid burger at a fast food restaurant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the (BLEEP) Price is Right?
