Zenen Robles from Simi Valley was surprised with a $10,000 prize on Wednesday

You’ve probably seen those commercials for years for the Publishers Clearing House Prize draws - well, a big winner on Wednesday was from Simi Valley!

Standing outside their Simi Valley home, the resident has no idea that the person knocking on his door will be bearing a prize winning check from Publishers Clearing House for $10,000.

Zenen Robles says the prize money couldn't have come at a better time and will enable him to clear some debts and buy food for his family.

"We have hardly any food for a week, so this will help a lot," he told KCLU.

Caroline joined KCLU in October 2020. She won LA Press Club's Audio Journalist of the Year Award in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Since joining the station she's also won 10 Golden Mike Awards, 6 Los Angeles Press Club Awards, 4 National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards and a Regional Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence in Writing.
