What Happens If the Prize Patrol Visits Me and I’m on Vacation?

Greetings, fans and friends!

The excitement is building over our next big Special Early Look Prize Event – $5,000.00 A Week “Forever”– as more and more of you dream about receiving $5,000.00 a week for your life, and then after that, $5,000.00 a week for life for someone you choose!

Our past “Forever” prize winners Michael Miller and John Wylie experienced their winning moments when the Prize Patrol appeared at their doors to award them their life-changing SuperPrizes.

Wouldn’t it be the best moment of your entire life if the Prize Patrol appeared at YOUR door?

Of course it would … but being that our incredible Special Early Look Prize Event will take place on August 28th – prime time for summer vacations and right before Labor Day weekend — you might be wondering, “What happens if the Prize Patrol knocks on my door and I’m on vacation?”

What happens if I'm on vacation

Well, I’m here to tell you the answer. And it’s NOT “They give the prize to someone else” or, even worse, “They don’t give out the prize at all.”

Rather, the answer is … THE PRIZE PATROL DOES WHATEVER THEY NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO DELIVER THE BIG CHECK! AND PCH WINNERS ALWAYS GET THEIR MONEY!

In fact, Prize Patrol Elite member Dave Sayer shared a few stories with me about occasions when past Publishers Clearing House winners were on vacation. Dave says:

 “On a handful of occasions over the last 26 years of Prize Patrol visits we have found, upon arrival, that the winner was on vacation. One time a $1,000,000.00 winner was sailing on Lake Michigan, far from her New Jersey home; so we returned to her house at the hour when her family said she would come home — and that was a memorable made-for-TV winning moment! Recently a newspaper reporter — who was disappointed when the winner wasn’t home — performed as a Prize Patrol deputy a few weeks later and delivered the Big Check. Other times we have left the prize with trusted relatives or friends. The point is: we always succeed in getting the prize to the rightful winner — whether the winner is away, at work, at school, even in the hospital.  So, don’t put off your vacation plans. Go and enjoy!”

One very important thing to keep in mind is that if you are our lucky winner, the Prize Patrol will NEVER friend request you on Facebook. If you ever do get a friend request from someone claiming to be Dave, Danielle or Todd, it is a SCAM!

The #1 thing to take away here is that there is NOTHING to worry about if the Prize Patrol visits you while you are away on vacation. If you’re our big winner, you will DEFINITELY get your money – NO IFS, ANDS OR BUTS.

So, go ahead and pack that suitcase … take that trip … go relax and have a great time! Just remember, before you leave … you have to enter in order to win! Then, who knows? The Prize Patrol could be looking for you!

Good luck!

  1. I would love to be a winner of the PCH prize on December 30th, but I am not at my regular address. I am on vacation in Florida for the next 4 months. Hope and pray every day to be a winner of anything as I have been entering your contest for over 25 years and have never won a thing. Hope and prayers are with me every day, thank you, Gloria.

  2. I 👩🏻‍🦳 am not planning 🧠 a vacation 🏖. But, working VERY HARD to just make ends meet🤝🏻. I 👩🏻‍🦳 was almost scamed, but had the sense 🧠 to check on it, to see👀 if it was a scam. And. It WAS.
    So. PRAISE 👐🏻 THE GOOD LORD☝🏻, they didn’t get the chance to my money 💵, I👩🏻‍🦳 have worked so hard for !!! 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👌🏻 👌🏻 👌🏻 ❤ 🤍 💙 ❤ 🤍 💙

  3. Yes, the reason I’m researching this is we are definitely not going to be home on prize day. Off on vacation, of course it would be spectacular to come home to a check that would cover the next one! : )

  4. If you do win, do you have to be on camera receiving the prize? Can you claim/receive your prize money in private? (so all the neighbors and relatives don’t find out). We all know that as soon as so called friends and everybody else finds out, they will all come running.

    1. Hi Mike! That is a great question, and the answer is absolutely! The winner does have the option to remain anonymous if they choose to. We had a winner back in April 2015 who requested to be anonymous, and we respected her wishes. I hope this helps!

  5. I won a prize when I lived in deatsville Alabama but I didn’t get it , yall gave it to my ex wife after she took me for everything I had. She’s even got my emails that I used with publishers Clearing house.
