Yes! The winning moments you see on TV are real! They are filmed at the actual moment we award the prize - totally unrehearsed and completely un-staged.
We don’t notify winners who will be visited by our PCH Prize Patrol in advance; we simply knock on their door with the video cameras rolling. If the winner is not home, we go to great lengths to find them - at work, at play, on vacation - and rarely have to make another visit.
