I have been ordering,& spent thousands of $$ at PCH over several years! I am a Presidential Preferred VIP ELITE customer! If I win... I could continue to order alot more! If I don't win soon, will probably have to give up! I am only living on a small as check, so I can't keep on spending on PCH for my dream to win soon! I have hundreds of entries in for the Oct 31 drawing, hundreds of chances on the Ford F 250, & hundreds of chances on the lotto cards! I hope that it's my turn! Please pick me

PCH continues to disregard their own regulations regarding cheating and fairness in their games. They are complicitous in felonious theft. Despite photos verifying the impossible on a supposedly random site revealing that the same players when two or three times per week, PCH continues to allow this cheating. I wish I knew the cheater's multiple WAYS of cheating. What Is most odd about this, is that PCH continues to cut 500 550 checks to the same people. You would think they would notice this. PCH you are sleeping on the job or you were getting kickbacks!
IT IS plumb DISGUSTING. U do not even deserve a one star.

Accedental order
March 12, 2015

Well, one thing is for sure they have no technical difficulties in processing your accidental order during sweepstakes confirmation. Then is seems like you have to look for the very fine print to get the order canceled before you are billed. (frowning) But, hope I win, I want to order many things I see on the numerous pages of the mundane down pages of the entry submissions.

I played everything on this site for 4 months. I reached the sapphire stage. During this time I had a lot of problems with my computer freezing and my security turning off. My settings notified me every time my security turned off and I had to reset it. Since I stopped accessing the site, I've had no security problems and no problems with the computer freezing.
Based on my experience, I feel the site is unsafe. Also, since I've been on this site I now get a ton more junk e-mail including penis enlargements etc that I never had to deal with before.
In the end, I decided that the site controls the scores on the games and therefore decides who will win. They claim no purchase is necessary but once when I paid a $100 bill from them, I scored 12th highest for that day--go figure?
Also, The items on the site are grossly overpriced, impossible to cancel and the shipping is out of sight! You would do well to avoid this site.

I'm a PhD and have been playing PCH games/lotto etc. for over a year and have nothing to show for it but nearly 60m tokens in one account amd 25m in another. Every evening I spend up to 100k tokens for "rewards". We order some small item at least once a month. All we ever receive is some $ store item worth "a dollar or two" and at least 20 emails a day from PCH. Yes, playing is enjoyable but entirely non-productive. What am I not understanding?

Annoying
January 28, 2017

It wasn't until I entered their sweepstakes that I keep getting random calls from fake people and random text from fake people. I have to block numbers coming from putting my number in for the sweepstakes at least 5 times a day or more. IT IS SO ANNOYING. Does anyone really ever win the 5,000 a week? I feel like i'm wasting my time playing these games and entering the sweepstakes.

Look out.
May 9, 2016

PCH used to be a great company. Today it's a real scam. Look out, don't trust them. They'll get you in the end. Links to links to links and each time you visit one, PCH gets a few pennies and if you buy, they aren't the real sellers. They are simply tagging you for a profit from the real seller.

It's a waste of time, I been wasting hours of my time every day for over a year now I collected over 300 millions tokens and scratched millions of scratchers and not been able to win anything. I can't even redeem the tokens even when I bet large amounts of them. It's a waste of time and another scam for gullible and desperate people.

YEA RIGHT!
June 16, 2015

This is a sham, I have been playing this for 20 years now, and only bought something once 20 years ago. I have not won even a cheapo $5 gift card! Even with the Powerball and the country playing the odds are still better than PCH, I have won a couple times some $20 prizes with them. Those are greater odds than this and still haven't won nothing!

Say I use my tokens every few days or so for a certain prize and I continue to use my tokens for the same prize every few days. Do my tokens continue to be held in my used account for that prize or does PCH treat each "buy" as a totally separate entry.

IDK why some on here are complaining. I only get one email from PCH, per day. Occasionally 2, but usually only one. Maybe if they did'nt subscribe to every damn thing PCH tells them to, they would'nt get beseiged by emails. As far as the games&such, don't bother with those, they won't get you much even if you DO win(assuming that winning anything on PCH is even possible), go for the big ones, the money, like the 5,000.00 a week forever, 1 million dollar jackpot&such. That way, if you DO win, it's something worthwhile(if one actually CAN win on PCH&that's a big assumption in itself). Leave the damn games&token stuff alone, as it won't get you much at all. Stop being such mindless, whiny little sheep&THINK, damnit, THINK... Do you want big money, or useless tokens&a few bucks, maybe a measly 100.00? Just sayin'. Have a nice night...

They claim to have 100% customer satisfaction but they don't. The merchandise is substandard and when you want to mreturn the crap they ask you to pay for it. What a scam! Do yourself a favor and don't order anything from them. PCH is the worst!

Nobody really wins. They just want you to search so they can get paid. Search for "how does pch suck farts outa rino butts"

The problem I have is when I play a game it won't load the game it will say were experiencing technical difficulties try later. No matter how many times I try later the page wont load forcing me to reload. Mind you once you reload the game is forfeited. I get that alot

I have bought a few items from PCH. I have returned a few of those items with no real problem other than the cost of shipping. I enter most of their sweepstakes. Several sweepstakes could not be processed for entry due to reasons that are probable due to either their tecnoolgy issues, my technology issues, or my computer systems. I simply choose not to enter the ones I cannot enter and go on to the next one. Have I ever won? No. Do I actually expect to win. Not really, although I do hold on to a slight glimmer of hope since it costs me nothing but time and I don't give it much of that. Bottom line: since I haven't lost and do stand a extremely small chance of winning I figure why not try, as long as I have the time. And I wish you good luck!

Some years back - not sure when - I started playing the PCH games and quit for a prtiod of time/. Not sure when or how long I didn't play. Something started me pkaying again as I am now. It appears as though I am carrying an extra 11 tokens and I am not sure of why? All on my balances have a one or a 6 in the singles column of the total token amount. It just seems rather weird.
