Have been playing for years now. Have never won a single thing. My email keeps being plagued with "last chance to enter" or some encouraging email that I could very well possibly be the next winner. I supposedly ordered something from them and I've had to call back numerous times to cancel the order. Never mind the fact that the call center was in India. They also encourage you to play their games for chances of prizes and all i get is tokens and ive never actually seen or heard anybody win from them. I cant give merit to them being a hoax and scam but if this country can have rigged voting and crimminal money printing then i certainly wouldnt be suprised this pch operation is just smoke and mirrors.

Where is The Prize?
July 19, 2017

Several weeks ago I matched all 8 numbers plus the power # in the power prize lotto drawing and heard nothing. I also matched 7 numbers and again tonight I matched 8 numbers. The rewards are huge but where are they? The odds of winning according to them are slim so the prize money needs to be split if more than one winner. I am fine with that. I have NOT heard one thing... Carol G.

DISGUSTING
March 19, 2021

I've gotten 4 letters thus far telling me to send $5 to process the "unclaimed" winnings. I've sent $5 3 times so far. Still haven't won. Still getting letters asking for $5 to process winnings lol What a joke. They should be ashamed playing with people emotions in times like this. Horrible organization!

Real sweepstakes?
March 2, 2015

Why has the same winning video been shown for over 2 years while 5k to 7k a week sweepstakes haven taken place. If the sweepstakes were real don't you think a new winners video would be produced for promotional purposes each time, it's all about advertising isn't it?

156 million tokens. Once had a game say I won $2000. 00 only to reset to 100 tokens. Was told that a $10,000 prize was a mistake. Just once I won $5.00 but it was a credit for a purchase. The site seems to be infested with viruses causing problems on my computer. Sure you have to put a line in the water to catch a fish but it seems there are no fish in this pond.

Growing weary
July 31, 2020

I am weary of the many emails I continue to receive from PCH, without ever winning anything. I have participated, for years, without receiving anything but more & more emails! Their items for sale can be purchased for a lot less elsewhere.

If you play all the games in PCH, you probably will earn an average of 100K to 200K tokens daily even though they do not tally accurately. I redeemed over 150 million tokens for the PCH REWARD sweepstake gift cards and won nothing. These are not even big prizes about $50 to $250 gift cards. I even bought twice from the website and it did not help. I don't really know if the names of the daily winners really exist. Somehow, none of them have FB lol. That is a big red flag in my opinion. However, the most you will win on the pch website is about $10 just to keep it legit. I am sorry but based on my own experience, i cannot recommend the site at all.

I am so tired i have been a member since 2007 at least and nothing. It started with one email then turned into 6 emails total of 12 entries. I'm saddened by the fact that they say if you dont respond to this email your entries will be removed basically. This is just unjust I'm sorry but I dont have 12hrs a day to enter all their sweepstakes. Also why say if we dont respond to email it will basically look bad on our subscription. Also they say buying product does not effect entry. I got a entry email saying please buy something why. We know they offer products in think I'm going to look onto this I'm tired of being pressured into buying when I cant even tho they say no purchase necessary. This is harassment. I ask for sweepstakes entries not product advertisements for 12 or more years I'm sorry I have won not a thing. I am gunna research their company ins and outs I'm sure they are not gunna add up. It doesn't make sense.

I slaved for PCH for over 4 months all I got from them was only a $10.00 check + $10.00 on Amazon, not even on reward I kept on claiming them, I never received anything, I even finished the 12th buttons, very soon I am going to start a petition so the world will know the real truth about them. They are all very sneaky, they forced you to make purchases before you know it you will owe a lot of money on your credit card. Now they can look for their mother, father and family to enter these craps for them on their system stop believing in them, this is my first try, next will be the social media. They need to be stop they cannot even pay $2,500.00 per week now they are offering $5,000.00 week. This Congratulations that's you will get that it.

Do yourself a favor and throw their mail in the trash. Block their emails as well. The items they sell are cheaply made and cost more than at brick and mortar stores. The chance to win anything from them is slim to none. All they want is your money and if you order something they harass you to buy more. I clicked on an item to buy but then changed my mind. I did not fill out the section to confirm the order because I didn't want the item after all. I closed their webpage but a few weeks later said Item was in my mailbox with a bill attached to it. I sent the item back to sender Crooks at their finest.

Here I am again. :) Can't help it, admit it people... who else gives away "life changing" opportunities like PCH? Nobody. Let's count the ways. 1.) Great Deals 2.) Great and Unique Products 3.) Great Magazines. Any Magazine on any subject... Very Popular Magazines plus great deals... infact I never found anyone who beat PCH Prices. 4.) If you ever have to return something or just have a question the people there are so kind and helpful. 5.) Dave Sawyer, Todd Sloan and Danielle Lam and their awesome crew COULD possibly come to your door with a "LIFE CHANGING CHECK" to make all of your dreams come true... NOW! Not tomorrow but NOW. WOW That is what I say! Now I would say just for a moment... just absorb that thought... and ask yourself who else offers you all of this? My saying for PCH is "WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE" :) I rest my case. Continue to play, enter and dream. Ask, Believe and Recieve :) Good Luck Everyone. :)

This is my update for PCH Play and Win App:
I uninstalled the app. There's something fishy about the way the same people keep winning everyday. The straw that broke the camels back for me was, I should have won that evening, it was too strange how one of the those same names took over the lead which shouldn't have happened just seconds before the midnight change over to the next day's game. It was fun while it lasted. Now I'm off to bigger and better things to do with my time. Good luck to all who are still hopeful.

Something smells fishy!
November 5, 2015

I applied 12,000,000 tokens towards a prize at PCH and didn’t win. How is that possible? I’m beginning to have doubts about the time I invested to get 12,000,000 tokens. My family had a great laugh at my expense.

Read your review and 5 stars. Come to find out that the number you had that won (?) was the same number that I had and have been entering with for the last 6 months. If they are giving the same number to multiple people, sure sounds like a scam to me!

I enjoy the dream idea of it. Love games THAT I CAN GET TO LOAD.
However after years. YEARS of playing I've not won one thing other than tokens and I played everyday for the SEVERAL hours you have to due to insanely long ads of which there are these long $#*! ads to even return to lobby. Its really to time consuming.
I'm a very lucky person. So I have to wonder if this is even a real REAL thing. I've bought stuff but will never again because I want to win sometimes to. Its to bad they dont let one use tokens to opt out of ads. Then I'd feel like a winner and it's worth the time for a happy dream at least. Crazy wacky site that causes a burn out give up feeling which sucks when we all just start thinking how get it would be to win pch. The knock at my door. Thx. Bye ya'all

PCH always says if you have to pay any money then it's not them, because if they ask for money then it's not free. Well have you noticed they always say if you order from this page you will get a free gift worth $30.00? But then they say, just pay $4.99 for shipping. Well to me that is NOT FREE. Maybe I have a different view of what free means.

Why is it that every time they offer a big prize, they never pay it out? There's always the excuse that the winning number is not returned, so they offer the alternative prize of 1 million dollars... paid out at ******* a year for so many years. Never the 10,000 a week for life, or the 10 million, 3 million, or 250,000 a year for life. Those are like "bait prizes", designed to lure people. They seriously need to be investigated for fraud.

While playing the lotto?

It wasn't; and I had a time removing it from my computer. Also, that same site pop up again; asking if I wanted the plus service. I've determine; it's a real SCAM!
