Fargo Lady Wins The $10000 Publishers Clearing House Award

They stopped at Osgood Hornbacher's in south Fargo to get some roses before surprising the big winner.

The Publishers Clearing House team had never been to North Dakota before, and it was the final of the lower 48 states they flew through. They stopped at Osgood Hornbacher’s in south Fargo to get some roses before surprising the big winner.

“So she’s entered a lot,” Howie Guja of Publishers Clearing House said. “No, she has no idea she won $10,000,” Guja said.

The Publishers Clearing House crew drove around south Fargo neighborhoods until they located the lucky winner’s house.

“You never know what you are walking into with this job,” Guja said. “The Prize Patrol is in Fargo, North Dakota, to surprise Wendy Folkestad with $10,000. She won the weekly grand prize. Let’s go see if she’s home,” Guja said during a social media spot.

It was time for the big surprise after a brisk winter stroll to the front door. More than one manner can be said.

“I hope this is good,” said Wendy Folkestad’s husband Tom Folkestad. “We’re looking for Wendy,” Guja said. “She is at work right now,” Tom Folkestad said. “I am Howie, you probably figured out where I am from,” Guja said. “Probably from Publishers Clearing House,” Tom Folkestad said. “Bingo,” Guja said.

Tom Folkestad claims that he and his wife, Wendy, have saved enough money to go on a river cruise. Of course, they had to go to Moorhead for Wendy Folkestad to pick up the money.

Tom Folkestad walked into Wendy Folkestad’s office in Moorhead’s Clay County Social Services Department. Wendy Folkestad walked into the foyer, completely unaware of what was about to happen.

“What’s happening? I don’t want to have a heart attack,” Wendy Folkestad said. “You won $10,000 from Publishers Clearing House,” Guja said. “I’m shaking. This is fantastic. I’ve dreamed about this,” Wendy Folkstad (Facebook) said.

What a way to close the week—with champagne, flowers, and cash—and now they can start packing for their trip to Europe.

“Thank you so much,” Wendy Folkstad said to the crew. “Dreams can come true, you guys,” Wendy Folkstad said.

Publishers Clearing House, which began with door-to-door postal subscriptions in 1953, is currently commemorating its 70th anniversary. Three times a year, the corporation gives out prizes ranging from $1 million to $10 million.
