PCH Prizes makes three lucky customers £5,000 richer as the winners from the PCH Prizes Holiday Dream Prize Draws were revealed.

Joelene Rodgers from Dromore

One of the three winners of Publishers Clearing House’s cash prize of £5,000 has today been revealed as living in Dromore.

Joelene Rodgers entered a free prize draw on PCHPrizes.co.uk, which offers consumers the chance to win big cash prizes for free. Publishers Clearing House has been running in America for over 55 years, during which time it has given out more than £130 million in prizes. The prize draws have launched recently in the UK and Joelene is one of the first big winners.

She was surprised today at her place of work, Skeagh House Care Home, by a personal visit from the PCH Prizes Team who presented her with her cheque for £5,000. In a scene reminiscent of the famous ‘Down Your Doorstep’ segment on The Big Breakfast, the PCH Prizes Team took to the streets of Dromore in a PCHPrizes.co.uk branded taxi to track Joelene down at work as she was not at home and personally hand over the cheque.

Joelene said: “I can’t believe I’ve won £5,000, I’ve never won anything before and this is such a huge amount of money. I’m in complete shock and when I saw the PCH Prizes Team pull up in the car park I couldn’t believe it. I’ve got two young children so I can’t wait to treat them both at Christmas, have a family holiday and finally get the garden shed I’ve always wanted. I want to thank PCHprizes.co.uk and tell everyone that they should enter and it could be them winning next time!”

James McCarron from Southall

James was surprised today at home by a personal visit from the PCH Prizes Team who presented him with his cheque for £5,000. In a scene reminiscent of the famous ‘Down Your Doorstep’ segment on The Big Breakfast, the PCH Prizes Team took to the streets of Southall in a PCHPrizes.co.uk branded taxi to track James down and personally hand over the cheque.

James said: “I can’t believe I’ve won £5,000, I’ve never won anything before and this is such a huge amount of money. I won’t be spending any of the money on myself as it’s my daughter Collette’s 16th birthday at the end of November so we can give her a party to remember now. My mother also lives in Donegal in Ireland and is ill at the moment so it means I can go and visit her. I want to thank PCHprizes.co.uk, I enter the draws every day and I’m definitely going to tell all my family and friends that they should enter, it could be them winning next time and you have to be in it to win it!”

Sandra Sekula – King’s Lynn

Sandra Sekula entered a free prize draw on PCHPrizes.co.uk, which offers consumers the chance to win big cash prizes for free. Publishers Clearing House has been running in America for over 55 years, during which time it has given out more than £130 million in prizes. The prize draws have launched recently in the UK and Sandra is one of the first big winners.

She was surprised today at home this morning by a personal visit from the PCH Prizes Team who presented her with her cheque for £5,000. In a scene reminiscent of the famous ‘Down Your Doorstep’ segment on The Big Breakfast, the PCH Prizes Team took to the streets of King’s Lynn in a PCHPrizes.co.uk branded taxi to track Sandra down and personally hand over the cheque.

Sandra said: “I can’t believe I’ve won £5,000, I’ve never won anything before and this is such a huge amount of money. The winnings are going to come in handy for Christmas or we may even go on holiday. I’ll have to keep the giant cheque to show everybody as none of my family will believe me! I want to thank PCHprizes.co.uk and tell everyone that they should enter and it could be them winning next time.”

Dennis Vukelic, Director of Online Strategy at Publishers Clearing House, commented: “The lucky winner had no idea they had won – the first Sandra knew about it was when the PCH Prizes Team turned up with the cheque to hand over! £5,000 is a huge amount of money and we’re delighted that she won.”

When 3,000 UK consumers were questioned about how they’d spend such a large sum of money, 55% said they would use it to treat family and friends, whilst 41% would have a luxury holiday. An altruistic third (33%) would give money to charity and a sensible one in five (18%) would put it all in savings.
