December 2nd was a chilly, drizzly day in Roseville, California. But that didn’t stop Rhonda Wagner from throwing open the front door – because through the screen-door she saw nothing but sunshine. Let’s face it, it’s always fair weather when the PCH Prize Patrol arrives – with roses, balloons and a Big Check! And we […]
On June 30th I had the pleasure of surprising Missourians Tim Roush and family with a Big Check for $10,000. Tim is a high school history teacher; his wife Donna is also an educator, and it sure makes us happy to honor public servants who do so much for our nation’s youth. Freshly encouraged Tim […]
Everyone asks us, “What if the winner isn’t home when the Prize Patrol arrives?” Well, if you were watching coverage of PCH Pay Day on the PCH Fan Page on Facebook on February 28th, you saw the answer! We find that winner! Knocking on the door of a 5th floor apartment in Queens, NY, the […]
Who knew that a house that looked so quiet on February 5 at 2:30 PM could – just a few minutes later – be the scene of life-changing excitement? Well, that’s what happens when the PCH Prize Patrol comes to call. For a retired accountant, that ordinary day suddenly turned into a euphoric experience never […]
When we surprised Eddie Hargraves of Oklahoma City, OK, on January 14 we must have knocked his socks off. Not just because we were delivering a Big Check worth $1 Million, but because he came to the door barefoot — in a t-shirt and shorts ready to take a nap. “How ya doin’ today?” we […]
“No, no, no!” exclaimed Judy Tschantz at the front door of her home near Ann Arbor, Michigan. There stood the PCH Prize Patrol — with roses, balloons and a Big Check with her name on it! Yes, yes, yes! “This is your lucky day” we assured her as we declared Judy the newest winner of […]
As Christmas approaches I always remember a long-form TV commercial idea that some advertising colleagues cooked up for PCH but which we never produced. It parodied the debates seen on “crossfire” talk shows and featured me – as head of the Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol arguing with Santa Claus as to who has the better job. The […]
On yet another wonderful “PCH Pay Day” (October 26) the PCH Prize Patrol was on Florida’s east coast to award our new “Forever” Prize Winner Douglas Butcher. With a little help, we tracked him down in a wooded park a few blocks from the modest apartment complex where he rents a single room. There he […]

That means $2,500 a week for the rest of that person’s life plus – after that – $2,500 a week for the life of a loved one the winner chooses! Wow! I wish […]
You’ve seen it on TV game shows, and you might have even experienced it yourself: that thrilling moment when a person recognizes that he or she can get rid of that old clunker because “OMG! I have a new car!” Alana Hodge of Paducah, KY could hardly believe what her mother was screaming about. “Publishers […]
