After a 10-year hiatus, Publishers Clearing House once again has broadly hinted The Editor may win $10 million.
A decade ago, PCH promised to stop sending its junk mailers offering magazine subscriptions if no replies were received. None were.
Alas, now “the (local) media will be alerted” and the PCH “prize patrol” will come to The Editor’s home to deliver the “superprize” if he is selected as the winner.
Fat chance.
The unopened “important message,” with “documentation verified 6/6/05,” will quickly find its way to the paper-recycling bin..
It will join other ripped documents with presorted standard postage promoting burial insurance, hearing aids, investment opportunities and nursing homes.
Alter the patrol’s itinerary. The Editor has left the building. (19 JUNE 2005)
