A Washington woman won an Audi R8 on "The Price Is Right" on Monday to be named the biggest winner in the show's daytime history.

Sheree Heil from Tacoma, Wash., beat the "Gas Money" round on the show to take the $157,300 Audi R8 V-8 Spyder, Yahoo! Autos reported.

The model, which reaches a cool 186 mph, is one of the most expensive cars ever to appear on the game show, according to Yahoo.

Heil was ecstatic when she won the 430-horsepower supercar, enthusiastically waving her arms and running around onstage.

 "We just gave out a $157,000 car, everybody," host Drew Carey said with a smile.

Besides the car, Heil snagged $10,000 in cash and Prada shoes worth $3,045, bringing her total winnings to $170,345.

If a contestant from earlier this year had scored a Ferrari 458 Spyder, Heil wouldn't have claimed the title of the biggest winner in the show's history.

She unseated Vickyann Sadowski, who previously held the daytime record of $147,517 back in 2006.

For primetime viewing, contestant Adam Rose still holds the top slot for winning $1,153,908 during a special "$1,000,000 Spectacular" evening show.

According to Yahoo's report, CBS confirmed with a tweet that Heil had won the show's biggest daytime prize of all time.

"The Price Is Right" Twitter account tweeted, "Sheree is the BIGGEST WINNER in CBS Daytime #PriceIsRight History! Watch the nail biting game here!" with a link to the video.

Will some upcoming contestants have smaller prizes to fight for after Heil's big win? Perhaps.

"When the next episode of 'The Price Is Right' airs, we're guessing the prizes might be a tad more modest," Yahoo noted. "After all, they've got to pay for this car somehow."
