Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

During Friday’s episode of “The Price is Right,” the contestants won a historic $80,000.

It was Drew Carey‘s tenth anniversary of hosting the show, so instead of getting a $1,000 bonus for any contestant who spun $1 on the wheel, contestants got $10,000.

After giving out those $10,000 bonuses to three different contestants, Wilbert, Charlotte and Zacharia, the tiebreaker spins only resulted in more money, another tie, and then even more money.

Eventually, Charlotte won, but all the contestants got to keep their money, meaning “The Price is Right” gave away $80,000–the most they have ever given away on the wheel.
