Adam's take was $1,153,908, the largest winnings total in the 52-year history of the show (for the uninitiated, The Price Is Right began in 1956 in New York City with Bill Cullen as host and ran to 1965. The current version on CBS has been on since 1972).
It was quite a sight, and Drew Carey did what Bob Barker didn't since the Million Dollar Spectaculars started in 2003. And Howie Mandel couldn't even give away $1 million on his show, Deal Or No Deal, even with half the suitcases loaded with a million each. (Admittedly, a contestant had a $1 million suitcase but chose to bail out.)
