You know Publishers Clearing House, but do you know sometimes people actually win the contests?

A 26-year-old man from Illinois has won $5,000 for life in a PCH contest, as you can see in the video above, in which his overall lack of words proves he may be too stunned to believe it. In fact, his sister appears to be more blown away by the newfound wealth.

Miller should be stunned: the odds of winning the jackpot is a hefty one-in-1.75 billion.

Miller, who lost his job last year, lives with his mother and only entered the contest when he ordered World War II magazine. He says the first thing he'll buy with his money is a new car.

While he's busy opening a new bank account, why not take a trip down memory lane with these classic Publisher's Clearing House commercials, some of which feature other actual living breathing people winning?
