Manuela Arbelaez had nightmares of being unemployed after she revealed the price of a new car on her game show "The Price Is Right". Arbelaez gave away a car worth $21,960 to a game show contestant due to her blunder. She selected the winning price for the car before the contestant had the opportunity to guess the price, according to Daily News.

The 26-year-old model stated in an interview with The Daily Courier that she experienced the loss of thought process while exposing the answers to "Five Price Tags," a game that involves correctly choosing a vehicle's value among five oversized tags. Arbelaez accidently unmasked the correct $21,960 price after the contestant's first pick even though the participant had two more opportunities to guess the right price.

The blunder left Arbelaez in near tears, as the win card was revealed the contestant yelled in excitement saying, "I won it!"

Drew Carey, the show's host, laughed it off saying to the contestant, "Congratulations, Manuela just got you a car!" 

Arbelaez was so horrified that she covered her face and then hid behind the vertical game board. She has been with the show for six years, and was surprised to know how much attention she received due to her blunder. 

According to Arbelaez, there have been a lot of mistakes on the show, but her mistake was the most expensive. She also made a post on her Twitter account stating that she is not in trouble for the blunder she committed during the show.
