Publishers Clearing House's Prize Patrol On the Roam

Friday May 16, 2008
If you've been participating in the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes, you might want to keep your ears open for a knock on your front door. America's most famous sweepstakes has sent out its Prize Patrol to surprise 101 lucky winners at home, with checks ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. The Prize Patrol consists of 64 PCH employees who have been trained to capture the surprised reactions of the winners on camera, and to find those winners to present the prizes, even if they are not at home.

Remember, however, that even though the Prize Patrol news is exciting, there are hundreds of millions of entries into Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes, and your odds are astronomically long. In many cases, you're much better off entering the other sweepstakes on the Big Sweepstakes List.
