'The Price Is Right': Contestant in a wheelchair wins a treadmill

Any "Price is Right" fan has probably dreamed of one day going on the show and being summoned to "Come on down!" while simultaneously fearing the worst-case scenario of never making it on stage to meet host Drew Carey, or going over on the showcase showdown.

Or worse: not spinning the wheel hard enough to make a complete rotation.

Danielle Perez's trip to "The Price is Right" looked like the dream scenario in an episode that aired Tuesday. She made it on stage and met Carey. She even won her pricing game, sending her home with a sauna and a treadmill.

Which would've been great, except that Perez has no legs and she uses a wheelchair.

Perez's cringe-worthy win was quickly posted on YouTube and garnered plenty of reaction on social media.

(...)

But possibly the best reaction came from Perez herself, who tweeted a picture of herself on the show, saying, "when you win a treadmill on national TV, but you have no feet."

Perez, who is a comedian, has been in a wheelchair since 2004 after losing her legs in an accident. She said the strangest thing about her win was the reaction of the staff members on the show.

"I kept thinking that it was a really big joke," she said with a laugh, "But there was no irony in their cheers or applause."

Despite a collective and awkward pause from the audience that she said was edited out of the show, "Everyone at CBS seemed genuinely excited for me that I won."

Perez retweeted several of the tweets referencing her win, demonstrating she has a sense of humor about it all. She may not be able to use the treadmill, but as she tweeted, "I'm in a wheelchair & won a treadmill on @PriceIsRight and have no feet & my blow out was on point. Life got."

(...)

Perez hasn't yet received her prizes, and she isn't sure what she'll do with the treadmill once it arrives, but said perhaps she'll do what most do with exercise equipment and simply use it like a piece of furniture.

Sell the treadmill on ebay and buy ARTPOP and Rebel Heart with those cash
