A Million Dollars A Year For Life…A Dream Come True!

A few nights ago, I grabbed Chinese takeout for Scott and me. I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite parts of ordering Chinese is getting to the fortune cookie. Here’s what my fortune said:
I think this fortune was a little late! My dreams already DID come true almost five years ago when the Prize Patrol handed me a big check with my name on it! Winning a million dollars really changed my life. I was able to reduce the number of jobs I worked, we demolished our debt, and if you remember from one of my previous blogs, we finally built our dream home.
Well, very soon someone else’s dream may become a reality. How you ask? You know how! Publishers Clearing House has A Million Dollars A Year For LIFE up for grabs!
A Million. A Year. For Life.
The possibility of such a prize boggles the mind, doesn’t it? I thought I was overwhelmed when Dave turned around the check and showed me that I had won the $1Million SuperPrize. Just imagine what my reaction would have been had the words “A Year For Life” had appeared underneath my name!
The possibilities would have jumped by leaps and bounds! Let’s see… maybe we’d have our current home and another vacation home. Maybe we’d travel to a new country twice a year. Maybe we’d start a charitable foundation to help traditional and non-traditional students with college costs.
But nevermind me. YOU have a chance to enter to win! The April 30th SuperPrize Event is just around the corner. So enter every single way you can, including on pch.com and PCHSearch&Win!

Big Check From PCH Stuns Nevada Man — And His Bank
PCH Staff
12:22 am | 28 Comments »
March 26, 2013 is a day that Greg Garcia of Sparks, Nevada will never forget. He was resting up for his late-shift job while his girlfriend Sarah, her mother Rhoda and the TV kept him company in his cozy apartment. All of a sudden there was an unexpected knock on the door – which he opened to find (ta-dah!!) the Prize Patrol from Publishers Clearing House! While Greg could only smile in amazement, screams of “Greg! Greg! I don’t believe this!” gushed forth from those inside.
We presented Greg with roses, balloons AND a Big Check – for $15,000.00! Like most winners, he was almost speechless, but did manage a few “Wows” and “Thanks!”
Then it was time for me to hand over the real check — which was only a fraction of the Big Check’s physical size although the dollar amount was the same. Alas, there was a small problem: there was a typographical error on the real check’s “Payable to …” line. Would the bank cash it? Or would PCH Headquarters have to issue a new check – thereby delaying Greg’s ability to rejoice with crisp new bills in his pocket? There was only one way to find out.
Off Greg went to his local bank – with the Big Check, the real check, the Prize Patrol and official paperwork in hand to show that this prize award was real. The bank employees and the manager were excited to see us and had to admit they had never seen anything like this before. Sure they had seen PCH “winning moments” on TV. But a winner bringing a Big [cardboard] Check from PCH to their bank? That was a first – and an amazing one at that. Like so many folks we’ve met before, they weren’t sure that those Prize Patrol awards they’d seen on TV were 100% authentic. Well, now they know: they are. And, happily for Greg, the manager approved the real check for immediate processing, so the celebration could begin.
The Big Check is the ceremonial centerpiece of our prize presentations, and most wind up framed on our winners’ walls. But, of course, it’s the real checks worth thousands, even millions of dollars that make the real difference, that turn an average humdrum working day into a day never to be forgotten.
How would you like to march into a bank, bypass the ATM and stand before a teller with a Big Check and a real check and announce “Look what happened to me! Look what I just won from Publishers Clearing House!” If this sounds like something you’d love to experience, I urge you to enter the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes at pch.com today and every day. If it happened for Greg it can happen for you.
Wishing you the best of luck.

PCH Big Check Winning Moment — What A Way To Start The Day!
Dave Sayer
12:08 am | 35 Comments »
On Friday, March 1, Eric Schroeder was in his truck ready to leave his Houston, TX home for work when some activity on the street gave him pause. “Hmmm,” he thought. “Maybe I’d better wait a minute and see what’s happening here.”
The reason for his hesitation? Well, it was about 8:00 in the morning – not a time when you’d expect to see a van pull up with balloons, roses and – what’s that big piece of cardboard?
Eric didn’t have to wait for more than a few seconds to realize what was happening. A blue-blazered team recognizable as the PCH Prize Patrol approached him with a Big Check and promptly announced “Eric, you’re a winner in the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes!”
A stunned Eric didn’t want to be late for work — employed as he was by a plumbing contractor whose watchword is “guaranteed punctuality.” Still he was almost paralyzed in shock and needed to be coaxed out of his truck by the Prize Patrol – including Danielle Lam, cameraman Jay and yours truly, Dave Sayer. On the ground but floating on air, Eric broke into giant smiles and with shaking hands accepted his Big Check for $10,000.00. “I cannot believe this!” he repeated over and over. “I’m just floored … floored.” Now that’s a good way to start the day, don’t you think?
You can take a look at the exciting winning moment here:
Two phone calls were top priority for Eric: one to his wife – already at her job — to share the good news (she couldn’t believe it either!), and another to company headquarters to say he’d be on his way to work as soon as he caught his breath.
Eric is a great guy, and we are proud to have him join our huge and ever-growing family of Publishers Clearing House winners.
How would YOU like to join our family of winners? Eric didn’t think it would happen to him, but it did – just like it can happen for you. Of course, “to win it you’ve got to be in it.” But that’s easy. You can enter the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes today and every day at pch.com. And while a $10,000.00 prize like Eric’s is mighty nice, you could win even more – like $1,000,000.00 or even $1,000,000.00 a year for life!
So don’t delay. Enter today — and every day — and maybe you’ll start your day with a Big Check surprise!
