#WinnerWednesday: This Hawaii Man Was Surprised By $100,000

He wasn’t expecting the Big Check, but that’s what was there waiting for him. Here’s how he plans to spend the money… and what the big moment looked like.

Ralph Esparza, Jr. was in complete shock when he opened the door to the PCH Prize Patrol!

When Hawaii resident Ralph E. was the surprised recipient of roses, balloons, and a Big Check — for $100,000.00! — he simply could not believe it! But when the Prize Patrol told him that this “winning moment” was 100% real (just like he’d seen on TV) he replied “I’m in shock! SHOCK!” Even then, it took a while for the reality to sink in.

After years of entering the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, he was a winner! This surprise financial windfall was welcome news for this retiree who says he has LOTS of bills to pay. After that, he’d like to help his family — and keep entering! Congratulations, Ralph!

  1. I will not stop attempting to communicate with the vice presidents of PCH.com. I need these intentional doings to stop. My daughter should not have to pay for wrongful doings. This needs to stop. Please fix the cause that is causing distress and worry.

  2. “I always dream some day someone would congratulate me and tell me I’ve won”… Frustrating is patience no matter how much you wait time is most imported…

  3. I believe I have been a victim of fraud, I was called on the phone and told I won the big prize $7000 a month for live, a Mercedes and a cash prize of 2.8 million, but I was told that I needed to pay the fee for the IRS so that the money would be tax free. Like a fool, I paid the fee and was told everything was set and that the delivery team would be making the delivery, then I was told that the sponsor backed out and I have to pay more money in order to get the prize. I am saying all of this to let people know to watch out for scammers. I am so embarrassed that I let myself be taken in by those scammer. One of the used the name Mark, with a New York number, he told me to send the money to a Michael Baran in New Tazewell, TN. Please don’t be taken in like I was. I don’t think I will ever be able to get my money back.

    1. Hi Jerry, we’re really sorry to hear the scammers have contacted you.
