#2) The Prize Patrol will NOT notify you in advance if you win a major prize! If you get an e-mail, phone call or letter telling you you’ve won a major prize like One Million Dollars or $5,000 A Week For Life, do NOT fall for it – it is a scam! You’ll know if you’ve won a major PCH prize when the Prize Patrol shows up at your front door!
