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 was contacted yesterday by phone to say that I had won 15 million dollars. You can imagine my reaction, but I was sent information about payment due for federal insurance to be paid before the transaction of monies to be given to me. The man sent paperwork for 35,000 dollars due. I put him off till next week. Did I win? Please….

    1. Hi Linda! Please report all contacts from scammers to PCH via this link: http://bit.ly/Report-Scam-To-PCH. PCH does partner with the Federal Trade Commission and we send all scam reports to them so please make sure you let us know anytime a scammer contacts you. Remember, the real PCH never notifies major prize winners via phone, standard mail, email, or social media, and we never ask winners to pay to claim their prize. You can see more Safety Tips here: https://bit.ly/FraudProtection2. Please be careful everyone; don’t become a scammer’s victim.

  2. I did not receive anything, but a tenant that lives on our property, Justin H$$$$$ or Justin N$$$$$$, said you came by looking for me; he didn’t know where I was. I have received FC and SP numbers in the mail; I don’t know where to begin. I also received a few bank cards but have failed to complete the direct deposit slips on them so far. Am I a winner by chance? Goodness I’m excited and curious for you all. Thank you.

  3. Does PCH contact winners by telephone? My mother has gotten several calls in the last week (3 in a row at 10:30 p.m.) saying they would be there Monday. I’m just curious: Should she be afraid of a scam?

  4. I was sent paperwork to have notarized. I sent the paperwork pack and have heard nothing so far. Was this a scammer? I did not send any money.

    1. Hello Robert, The friend request and private message you received was not from the real Todd. We don’t contact our fans privately on Facebook. Scammers are very sneaky and will use our good name and reputation to try to deceive people; stopping them is a team effort so please report any and all scam contacts you receive to PCH at this link: http://bit.ly/Report-Scam-To-PCH. I also encourage you to take a look at this PCH Blog for info on how you can stop scammers from contacting you: http://bit.ly/StopFBScammers. Stay safe everyone!!

  6. My world has been turned upside down, and I have been entered in the PCH since I was of age in Florida, and now in Louisiana, so for at least 30 years I have been entered in. Now in the last year I lost my partner of 11 years, my mother, and almost lost my life in a recent house fire where I am saddened to say my Chihuahuas were passed away when I was released from hospital to go back home to no home. I would just love to know that I am not going to be missed when I finally do win 🙂
