Michael Hooper, a contestant on the popular game show ‘The Price Is Right,’ had a memorable birthday as he won a new car during the show’s taping on May 11. Wearing festive ‘Happy Birthday’ glasses and a themed shirt, Hooper managed to outbid his competitors and secure a spot on stage.

Hooper’s journey to winning the car began with a successful bid of $1,151 on a set of Martha Stewart designer jewelry, which was priced at $3,999. This victory allowed him to participate in the ’10 Chances’ game, where contestants have ten opportunities to win three prizes, including a car.

In the game, Hooper first guessed the price of a tabletop game board correctly at $70. He then moved on to a collection of massagers, eventually guessing the correct price of $650 after a few attempts. With seven chances left, Hooper focused on the grand prize: a blue 2025 Hyundai Elantra SE.

After consulting with his wife in the audience, Hooper successfully guessed the car’s price at $23,680, securing his win. The emotional moment was captured on video and shared on social media, where fans celebrated his success.

Despite his luck with the car, Hooper’s birthday fortune didn’t extend to the Showcase round, as he spun a 1.35 on the wheel, missing the chance to advance. Nonetheless, the new car made for an unforgettable birthday gift.

‘The Price Is Right’ continues to entertain audiences with its weekday broadcasts on CBS, offering viewers a chance to witness exciting moments like Hooper’s big win.
