three away from the right number, making it impoosible to get the right answer.

Methinks that was the first win, not the first playing.

A mid 80s playing of Temptation was a blooper win because they bought out two of the gifts in the wrong order.
There was another episode with two blooper wins besides the 1989 episode Steve mentions. In November 1996, there was an episode where Bob says the other 1 is in the price of the car in Any Number when it really wasn't, so the contestant won the car. Right before the Showcase results, he awarded the Pathfinder player in the second half of the show the car because the contestant got the first three numbers exactly right without a mistake. THe player then misses the last number in a 50-50 chance, then blows the prices of all three small prizes. Bob realizes that the incorrect number had flashed in error while the contestant was stepping to the last number, so the player was awarded the car.
A few years back, one of the products less than the target price had its price revealed at the outset of Grand Game. The contestant then picks the other three prices less than the target price, and the audience has to consistently prod him to pick the other product whose price was already showing.
There was another Golden Road blooper in 1983. The price of the second prize was not loaded in right, making it easy to guess what the missing number was as most of the second number was not covered. THe contestant went on to win the third prize, however.
Rob Rosa's car win was helped by one of the readouts in Spelling Bee showing the right price of one of the small prizes before he had to price it. The audience did have to remind him that the price was already revealed.
Don't forget the recent SCSD blooper where Bob forgot to start the bonus spin on the nickel. The contestant did go on to spin a $5K bonus spin, but since the player would have won $10K if Bob would have started it on the nickel, the player was awarded the $10K.
