_The Price is Right_ has had a few notable gaffes lately, like when a model accidentally [helped a contestant win a car](http://time.com/3770193/price-is-right-contestant-mistake-car/) or when the [announcer wiped out](http://time.com/3670215/price-is-right-announcer-trips-on-treadmill/) while running backwards. But those blunders pale in comparison to the moment earlier this week when a woman who lost both her legs in an accident [won a treadmill.](http://time.com/3848332/price-is-right-wheelchair-treadmill/)

The winner, Danielle Perez, is good spirited about it all. “This is literally the best day of my life,” Perez, who works as a comedian, tweeted. “I’ve been popping wheelies all day.” She also tried to start her own meme about the awkwardness of it all:

> [](https://twitter.com/DivaDelux/status/595667205641089025)

Wednesday night, Perez stopped by _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ to talk about the mismatched prize with the comedian. She continued to show off how good-natured she is about it all, laughing, “Well, at least we know it’s not rigged.” Kimmel then tested her price-guessing skills and rewarded her with a much more appropriate prize.
