Fort Lee NJ, for one Fort Lee woman, New Year’s Day brought more than resolutions and celebrations—it brought a life-changing surprise. Dorice Singleton was stunned when Howie Guja of the Publishers Clearing House (PCH) Prize Patrol knocked on her door with an oversized check for $75,000.
A Knock That Changed Everything
Guja arrived at Singleton’s home on January 1 around 11 a.m. After knocking for a few moments, Singleton’s husband, Bill, peeked out of an open window and was greeted with the sight of the giant check. Rushing to wake his wife, Bill soon joined Dorice as they embraced and celebrated their incredible win.
“Oh, my goodness. I can’t even believe this is happening. I feel like I’m still dreaming,” said Singleton. She shared that she’s been playing the Publishers Clearing House app daily and entering sweepstakes for years, always holding onto hope.
A Dream Come True
The Singletons already have plans for their winnings. Dorice, who works at a local dollar store, revealed that the money would help them buy a home. “We’re planning on moving out of state soon, and this will help us buy our own house,” Bill added.
Singleton’s advice to others: “Keep playing the games. Keep entering. Truly, it may turn out to be you.”
Publishers Clearing House: Big Wins and Important Warnings
Singleton’s win is extraordinary, with the odds of winning a $75,000 PCH prize estimated at 1 in 1.2 billion. Since its inception in 1967, Publishers Clearing House has awarded over $616 million in prizes, making dreams come true for countless winners.
However, PCH also cautions consumers about scams:
- Legitimate prizes are always free: Winners never have to pay to claim a prize.
- Be wary of payment requests: If someone claiming to represent PCH asks for money, prepaid gift cards, or personal financial details, it’s a scam.
- Check authenticity: If you’re contacted by someone claiming to be a PCH representative, visit the official Publishers Clearing House website to verify any claims.
The Joy of Winning
Singleton’s story is a reminder that big dreams can come true, even when the odds are against you. Her perseverance and faith paid off in a monumental way, setting her and her husband on a path to a brighter future.
So, if you’ve been entering those sweepstakes, don’t give up—your knock on the door could be next.
