Arkansas Winner!


Karen Anderson was pretty sure she was going to win the Publisher's Clearing House big prize. She even spent extra to mail in her entry, mailing it just before the deadline. Some people are just like that, they have faith in their dreams.

Monday afternoon while she was out running errands, the Publishers Clearing House gang were headed to her house in Bella Vista Arkansas with balloons, flowers and a BIG check! Bella Vista is about 10 miles from here and built around a golf course, it draws retirement couples. Karen was the sole provider for she and husband David who suffers from Alzheimer's Disease until last October when she lost her job. The million dollar check couldn't have came at a better time!

So far the only plans for the money are Merry Maids, she mentioned that first.... and she wanted to buy the chihuahua that she'd seen in the classifieds. I have a feeling this couple will be able to keep their feet firmly planted on the ground even if their heads are in the clouds.

  3. That is sooo sweet! I've always wondered if the Publisher's Clearinghouse thing was an urban legend and now I know it's true!

  9. I hadn't heard about this. Great to have a fellow Arkansan win the price. Sounds like it couldn't have happened to more deserving people.
