Port Washington sweepstakes pays out 'big check'

Danielle Lam, of Port Washington-based sweepstakes company Publishers Clearing House, got to hand out a big check this week to an Arkansas woman.

“The PCH Prize Patrol took to the road to deliver a life changing $1 Million to one lucky sweepstakes winner by the name of Karen Anderson,” the company said in a news release.

Lam and her fellow Prize Patrollers Todd Sloane, Dave Sayer and Natalie Bostelman tracked down the winner Monday at her Bella Vista, Ark., home. 

“Anderson shouted for her husband, David, to come to the door when she saw the Prize Patrol. ‘Honey, we’re the winners. We won $1 million,’” Karen Anderson said.

Publishers Clearing House has awarded more than $220 million in major prizes — those of more than $10,000 — since 1967.

Lam stars on the PCH Facebook page, where one fan really likes her look and her personality.

"When I first saw these photos I couldn't believe you were a 'real' person as you are so photogenic and beautiful. Now that I've chatted with you online I feel you are just as beautiful inside, Danielle."
