Mary, y'are obviously referring to the surprising of the winner, since HGTV already has the person's email. I think the sleuthing of HGTV runs quite deep...city property records, phone listings, etc.
But, if your address is obviously obscure, even the post office wouldn't find you. There, I suggest, is a problem. !
Perhaps a banner on the front door..."HGTV, Mary is here." :>)

They should find you, Mr. Bill, or myself with no problem as many times as we have entered our data at HGTV.

As for yo and me, yes....but Mr.Bill being as small as he is, I'm not sure. Plus doesn't he live at the end of a rainbow? Cuz his location can change hourly.

Well they probably would not be able to find me because my address does not come up on GPS and i get my mail at a PO BOX.They would have to call me if i won my Phone number isn't even listed but the number i put in the entry is there.

They will go through the police and fire departments if they have to, in order to find you. I know they used them in the past.

Did i read somewhere on P.O. address on entrys as they are not looking for a mailing address but a location address? I know peope who use PO for mail, but they still have a house address.

I did not use my PO box for entry ,but my home address does not except USPS mail and GPs does not show up .So if i won they would really have to look hard for me .I have been playing 14 years now never won i doubt if i will ever win but i keep having hope.Just like playing the lottery

Do you get other deliveries at your house address like UPS? My in-laws are in a similar situation but they get UPS deliveries in which case you can be found.

They will find you! They checked with both the Mayor and the Sheriff (who are both fellow lodge members) in our City to find me.


In God's love,
