For the first time ever, John Wylie will not only receive $5,000 a week for his own lifetime, but he'll be able to designate any person he chooses to continue to receive $5,000 a week for their life once he's gone. That must be a huge relief for this father of five.
John Wylie looked absolutely overwhelmed by the news that he had won this huge prize. He was shaking and had to bend over to catch his breath. "I didn't think it was ever true," John Wylie said. "It's true," responded PCH Prize Patrol member David Sawyer. Watch the video of John receiving his prize here: First $5,000 a Week "Forever" Goes to John Wylie.

I’ve been entering PCH Sweeps for 10 years with NO wins!! I’ve been ordering their cheap junk, in hopes I would win something. They continually threatened you if you don’t open their emails & search or buy something!!
Itsy Spade, you never have to buy anything to win or to improve your odds with legitimate sweepstakes, including those from PCH.
We all wish that could be us winning that kind of a prize. But there can only be one person at a time. It sounds like this person needs it more than the rest of us to provide for his family a little easier. I hope that PCH keeps finding families like this to give these wonderful prizes to. They need hope in hard times like the present.
Wow, thanks pch for that beautiful clip of John Wyle. While we all dream we would win I definitely felt joy in seeing a very deserving father receive this prize. Amazing the first real words John said were about buying his parents a house. He certainly has a giving and deserving heart thinking of others.
Thanks for the uplifting video. I”ll keep playing!
PCH.com is very hard to win I must admit and I have been at it for at least ten years if not longer. In that time I have won from them a $1000 Savings Bond, $50 in cash, and two $5 cash wins from searching using their search engine: PCH Search and Win. They have always paid very quickly. They are legitimate but the odds are very low that you will win the big sweeps. Look at the rules & they tell you the odds you might win.
Why do you have to enter your sweepstakes every day of the week? Isn’t one day sufficient?
I have tried to unsubscribe, I have listed it as junk mail and still they keep filling up my mail box. I know they are never going to pick me… But at least give me a break…. 30 times a month and more!!! C’mon…. Quit it!!! Leave me alone.
it seems to me pch is a joke,i have entered everyday,answered every single email religously for the past year and have won NOTHING!!!!!!!!
I would just Love to Win Publisher Clearing House and Meet The Prize Patrol Team in Person..
Hello Pch I play as much as I can thank you for the chance to still dream big!!! A special mention to FORD CAR COMPANY FOR BEING THE BEST EVER MADE!!!!! THANK YOU PCH!!!
I’ll be very happy to have the 5000 a week 3 states that in all the PC H will come to my house and help me on my financial difficulties right now that I have I’ll be blessed
@ Itsy spade ” They continually threatened you ”
Seriously? You consider PCH’s way of wording things is threatening?
Wow.
I don’t want to come off as a bitter person. I am very happy for those who have won. But my goodness!! What does a person have to do to win this thing?!! I use to have dreams of Ed McMan knocking on my door.(Yes this is how long I have been playing!) Anything that comes through my mail box I respond to. But come on man!! My luck is not that bad that I should not have won something!! I also notice that if you live in an apartment your chances of winning are very low. I have never known or seen the van pull up to an apartment complex. It’s always the home owners that win. I know there are those who are worst off but I think being homeless (I live with my son and his family) and unemployed at 55 yrs of age puts me up there. HAY PCH I’M HERE AND STILL WAITING!!!
. To those who have won congrats!! To those of use who haven’t LET US PRAY!!
I wondered why friends were emailing me congrats. However I am from Nevada. First time I have seen someone spell their last name the same. If his middle initial is a T , I will be shocked.
John, that’s really funny! It must be strange to see someone with with your name. Here’s hoping two John Wylies will win the big prize.
Yep – I think i’k through trying to win anything on PCH. I’ve ordered several hundred dollars worth of stuff, with all the right intentions, but you never close to winning anything. After Feb. 28, 2013 – i’m done. Good Luck everyone!

Ah the thought of winning $5.000 a week forever now I could finally help out my family and well my parents wouldn’t have to work to keep up with bills
Publisher Clearing House, I have been playing now for many,many year’s and been waiting a very long time to Win..Sent 1975..I’m Waiting to meet the Prize Patrol Team any day now..I want to Win that Big Check and make all my Dream’s come true..
I could use it ! the gov put me out of work it would help me get paid up then start savin for son 6 years of edg in high tech shools
I have been playing for 5 yrs and haven’t won anything, but hopefully one day I will win and my life will change. I have 3 kids and 2 are in school. Somedays they run out of money for school lunch and I feel bad cause I dont have the money to give them to eat. If I ever won I would not have to worry about that anymore. I could give my kids a better life. Giving them everything that they need would be so great. Hopefully someday are dreams will come true!!!!
hello Pch:) I would love to win to give back to my family for all the good things they have done for me. I would love to help my boyfriend pay his bills and live happy ever after with him:) I would love to help families in need. I do believe in god so maybe one day I will get lucky. I do love playing your games and entering the contests it fun it always give me hope:) sorry for my bad grammar and spelling lol:(
laying for over 18 months ,never won a dime.What I hate is when you have to search by following to get entry confirmed and the little wheel goes so close to confirm your entry but stops just short of it.So you have to keep trying all day or lose your chance for an entry. Im getting to feel used.
It is all about getting people to shop on pch websites, because the odds of winning are nil….. it’s just like playing the lottery
But, we all have a fantasy of being financially comfortable and not plagued by bills & bills forever, especially with the economy right now
I being waiting for so long for PCH to make my dreams come true for so many years and notting yet happen.maybe because i don,t have money to buy their product i bearly have money to have a place to live and eat.thats why i sing in with them to see if i get a break in life for ounce.i guess only people that had more money are the ounce that gets everything not the poor hard working the struggles to survey thats life for you!
I know that I have already won millions of dollars because I see my future in my dreams and meditations. The Prize Patrol pulls up to my address at 581 Arnett Terrace, the balloons, the sirens…..I see it all now. The future is now. I am their next winner, on April 30, 2013. Once I have the money in hand I am starting an organization to help the survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I will have special scholarship funds for those in need. I will network with domestic abuse shelters the help families take the steps to a better life. I am a single mother of four, currently unemployed but working towards becoming certified for a position in the medical field. I have two in college. I have raised my children to know that there is always someone who needs help and that God will always provide for us. This money needs to the good of all and I will not become lazy or greedy once I have it. There are so many good uses for a million dollars a year and I will know where to contribute once I have become the steward of such good fortune.
I wish I could Win Publisher Clearing House and Make all my Dream’s come true and then I will know it’s really Real..
