It was easier to win a car on "The Price Is Right" than ever before on Thursday.

Contestant Andrea hit the stage to try her luck at winning a car -- and boy did her luck come through for her. Andrea was given three chances to guess the price of a brand-new Hyundai Sonata.

After her first guess was wrong, game show model Manuela Arbelaez didn't give her a chance to guess again because she accidentally revealed the car's correct price. Both Manuela and host Drew Carey's mouths' dropped. Without hesitation, the contestant exclaimed, "I won it!"

"Ooooooh! Congratulations! Manuela just gave you a car!" Carey reacted. "The game is over, folks."

Attempting to reassure the model, Carey added, "It's okay."

Calling out her mistake on Twitter, Manuela wrote: "I don't usually give expensive gifts, but when I do is a $21,960 CAR."

Just another instance where it pays to play!
