(KLZA)-- A life-changing event for a Falls City woman and her family occurred on Tuesday afternoon.
You see the Publishers Clearing House commercials on TV and see the surprise on the faces of the winners. Tuesday afternoon after a stop in downtown Falls City to blow up balloons and purchase roses, the Publishers Clearing House van made its way to the home of Snooks and Keith Hayes.
Snooks said she didn't see the van parked across the street, but her granddaughter saw someone at the door with a camera, so she would not answer the door.
When Snooks went to the door, she said it was truly the surprise of a lifetime when she recognized the Publishers Clearing House representatives Dave and Howie.
Hayes has worked at the Falls City Senior Center for 14 years and says she plans to keep working, at least part-time. She wants to do some projects around the house and pay off some bills before determining how to spend the money.
In addition to the balloons and roses, Dave and Howie, representing Publishers Clearing House presented Snooks with $5 thousand in cash for their first week of winnings.
Snooks said she has taken part in the Publishers Clearing House mailers for a number of years, noting that for everyone that thinks it is fake, it is not.
Congratulations to the Hayes family.
