Publisher's Clearing House Prize Patrol and $10,000,000 Winner

Instructions on making the Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol and $10,000,000 Winner Costume:

Go to the thrift store and pick up a men's suit, dress shirt, and tie, and woman's robe.

Purchase pink rollers and roll hair up.

Cut out a a piece of cardboard and paint it white, allow at least 24 hours to dry. Then using the computer, print off the from, to, amount, and check number. We signed ours from Ed McMahon. Tape the entire piece of cardboard with clear packing tape to protect the check from your evening of partying.

Using your computer print out a piece of paper that says Prize Patrol to tape over an old button.

Then on your way to the party, stop at the grocery store florist department and pick up 4-6 balloons and tie them to a clip. Clip them to the back of your shirt UNDER your jacket so they hover over your head.

Make sure you have a pocketful of those annoying stamps Publishers Clearing House makes you sort through to order magazines to hand out to party goers all night and tell them, "You may already be a winner!"

This costume is a riot and is guaranteed to win you best costume!

After browsing through online stores trying to find the perfect costume, I end up finding the best here, and they are all homemade. I may have to do this.

This cracked me up!
by: Dana (Exorcist)

You gave me the laugh of the day. It's so unique and simple and yet hilarious. My boss and his wife were looking for something to go as when I happened across your pic, couldn't stop laughing. I told them that I'd make the check and the pin for them and all they would need to worry about is the clothes and balloons so they agreed. Another couple always blows the others away, but I told my boss, with this costume "you can take 'em!" I'll let you know if they win!

That is soooo funny! My husband and I have to do something at church - this is clean - we can have fun while not spending much $$$. All I need is the rollers and a check and balloons. Thanks so much :)

Graet Idea!!
by: Kassadee

I did this last year and it was a huge hit! I dressed as Ed McMahon and even found his signature on the internet to use on the check. I love the idea of the balloons and stamps! I had one of my friends carry the balloons and camera, but I had never thought about using the stamps. Great costume!!
