When "The Price is Right" returns for its 36th season -- its second with Drew Carey -- one thing you won't be seeing is the recent "Plinko-gate" game.

It happened last week when a contestant was playing Plinko and did something that had never been seen before on the show. She landed in the $10,000 slot three times in a row.

"This woman couldn't lose," Drew tells ET. "She drops one chip, she wins $10,000. She drops another one, she wins $10,000. She drops another one, another $10,000. The crowd is on their feet, they're going crazy. She drops the fourth one and [the floor director] runs up and he goes, 'No' and he puts his hand out and stops it. And he looks at me and he goes, 'It's rigged!'"

What no one realized -- it was the show's first day back following a two-week hiatus -- was that the game had been used to shoot a commercial for the upcoming PlayStation® version of "The Price Is Right" and had been specially fixed with fishing line to produce only winning results.

"They had the Plinko board rigged so it would always fall in the $10,000 spot when they filmed it," Drew explains. "They forgot to put a sign on it, so the crew just wheeled it out."

The girl was given the $30,000 plus five new Plinko chips, the fishing line was removed and the game resumed -- but as if nothing had ever happened.

"It doesn't show up on the show," Drew continues, "but whatever she won on the show, she's getting that, plus $30,000 that you don't hear about."

"The Price is Right" returns to CBS' daytime lineup on Monday, September 22.
