My mom been playing PCH for a long time! Had my name entered in for years now. I been receiving mail since I was in Junior highschool. Ever since my mom passed away in 2007 I lost track of PCH. Till one day I seen it on t. V. a commercial about PCH winning number giveaway 6900. I remember when my mom enrolled me so I decided to enter in her memory. Been playing ever since. Well entering. Like they say " you have to enter to win"... I don't know how long you have to play to win but all the negative comments need to stop and just be positive about it! You might or might not win simple. You will be suprised! Just enjoy playing PCH in the mean time! I know I will :) Live Love Laugh!
