Question:

If pch winners are determined by a drawing, how can numbers of entries affect your possibility of winning?

Answer:

They don't. PCH wants you to keep coming back to buy magazines or "as seen on TV" type products. Their web pages have ads for their advertising clients so it's good for PCH if people spend more time there. PCH wants you to think visiting more often increases your chances. Somewhere in the disclaimers it states that you can only enter each prize drawing once per day, but you'll get multiple emails per day urgently telling you to enter.

Question:

Why dont all my scratch off games load

Answer:

If you look very closely at the game board, there is usually a "Reveal All" Button near the top numbers on the upper right hand side of the card. If you touch the Reveal All button, you don't have to "scratch off" the numbers on your screen. It's very small, so you have to look carefully for it, but it reveals all the numbers for you. I found this button after scratching off a few games. I hope this helps.

Question:

Are the games free to play?

Answer:

The games cost no money, but they take one irreplaceable commodity... your time. This is important because there is really no skill involved in playing these games, the prize awards are randomly dispersed to a very few. I "won" a hundred bucks a few years ago from the "games" and skill played no part in it. PCH just wants you to spend time at their sites viewing the ads and products of their partners. If you are disabled and immobile, have at it maybe you'll get lucky, but don't let some jack pot fantasy take over your life.

Question:

I want to know how is it possible for someone to get 241,100 tokens playing a game when the most tokens you can get per game are 500. if my calculations are correct and they are this person would have to play the game for 18 hours and as of this writing it is 1:49 est, that means that the game has only been live for 11 hours.

Answer:

Haha that's exactly what I think too. I always wondered how they get to 200,000 tokens in one day and get token leader. I don't even get close to that

By Jennifer M.
Question:

Please tell me how many entries or tokens does it take to win a prize.

Answer:

Well. Over 300 millions tokens and millions of scratchers and millions of entries didn't win me any money prize yet, with the exception of 10.00 few months back, so don't count on any money prize or even on redeeming tokens, no hope of that.

By Jolanta L.
Question:

How many tokens do i need to get to the black diamond

Answer:

200,000,000 for Black Diamond. That's 200 million. You can click on the arrow under "My Status" (next to your token total on top right of pch.com), the click "MORE ABOUT PCH REWARDS" for a rundown of each status.
