Dave Sayer of Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol suspected retiree Archie Joseph would be at his modest home in Southfield, Michigan as he crept up to the door with roses and balloons in hand. Oh, and a Big Check for $25,000 from PCH and Club Vegas – Real Vegas Slots!

When he beckoned Archie to come out, Archie was speechless. As with all PCH prize winners, Archie was not notified in advance that Dave was about to show up on his doorstep. “Oh my goodness, my goodness,” he repeated, holding his hand over his heart in astonishment. “I’ve been playing a long time, every day, and keeping my fingers crossed.” He was thrilled at the sight of the Big Check, even declaring he would go so far as to display it on the porch “to advertise that this is REAL, believe me.”

“We know you’ve been playing a long time, and it paid off!” said Dave. “Some people don’t believe this really happens. What would you say to them?”

Answered Archie, “Believe me it is real. In capital letters, THIS IS REAL.”

“You have to believe,” he continued. “You have to have trust. You have to have faith. To me, this is a total shock. But today, you’ve made me a true, true believer.”
