My First PCH SuperPrize Experience!

Last Updated: March 6, 2015

Wow! It is September 1st and that means it has officially the DAY AFTER the 8/31 SuperPrize Event. Congratulations to Larry B. of Granite City, Illinois! Larry is now $1,000,000.00 richer! I hope everyone kept up with the excitement on the PCH Fan page.

Check out Larry with his Big Check!


Larry and the Prize Patrol!

This was a very special SuperPrize Event for me – it was my first here at Publishers Clearing House! I joined the PCH family almost two months ago so this was a thrilling experience. Growing up, I was always aware of Publishers Clearing House – they were the people with the balloons and Big Checks but that always seemed like a Candid Camera prank. I’ve seen Publishers Clearing House spoofed on late night TV shows so sometimes I wondered if the Prize Patrol and the winners were actors. Well, now, I can officially say that PCH and the Prize Patrol are REAL. Real PCH employees deliver real prizes to real winners!

The SuperPrize Event starts much earlier than August 31st. There is a ton of preparation involved from all PCH employees. The week and a half leading up to the Event was the busiest stretch of time I’ve had at PCH! Every little task was somehow related to the SuperPrize even in the most indirect way. Being part of the Social Media team, a lot of my time and energy was devoted to making sure the Prize Patrol interaction on our PCH Fan page went off without a hitch. It was a delight to bring together our passionate PCH fans and our famous Prize Patrol on such an exciting day. I hope all of you felt like you were part of the Prize Patrol’s journey to the winner – as if you were guest Prize Patrol members!  Let us know what you thought about the updates from the Prize Patrol in the comments below or on our Fan page.

Now that the August 31st SuperPrize event is over, I will admit that I am feeling somewhat disappointed and relieved. You know, it’s that same feeling you get the day after Christmas or when your guests leave your birthday party. It was so suspenseful not knowing who the winner was but now I can take a deep breath and relax after a busy week and a half. But not for too long because guess what? A Big SuperPrize is still up for grabs! Enter at PCH.com now for a chance to win!

I look forward to many more winning moments with PCH!
