I have been entering

Publishers Clearing house contests for seven years in a row now every day and have never won anything worth talking about. Since, they signed on with google ads, they have let google adds run the show. It now is nothing but an ad show now I have begun to hate them now. Its nothing but a circus side show with a million adds plus. You odds of winning anything are as good as winng anthing at an indian casono or playing the lotto. I have wasted so much of my time entering every sweepstakes they have and never won anthing big snough to brag about. You will never get rich wasring your time entering any of there sweepstakes. They are all rigged for you to waste you time watching all those worthless adds google puts on tnier site.

I give PCH four stars for their marketing of dreams. They are very good at it. Some of their products are unique, not always worth the added 6 or 7 dollars shipping and handling, but that is their standard, so u either buy it or not. Some of their stuff is not up to standard, and returns are difficult.
What I like about PCH is their ability to make u believe u could actually win. ( odds r not in ur favor)... So u can go to bed and dream of something fun. I have been entering PCH for almost 40 years, every state I lived in, by mail, by computer. NEVER won. Can' t even win a silly $50 token prize. I dont appriciate such low odds; I have had a tree fall on my car, a water bottle land in my face in a Home improvement show audience crowd, had a car swerve 5 feet in front of me crash in a building and driver die, won a Turkey on the radio and had a 1965 mustang hit the 1965 mustang I was driving... total both... and walk away from it... But I cant win a simple prize on PCH? Odds just seem a little fishy after 40 years. However... I do thank for the dreams... and secretly hope for that knock on the door.

I started using it and I won $5.00 and it was automatically put into my Amazon account (I believe it was the "Thank You" wheel. I know, the bottom of the barrel right? Yes, but it is something. So you DO win cash, but I still believe they are rigged like casinos to where they mostly give you tokens and that is about it. I've made PLENTY of tokens believe me. It's obvious the ping pong ball is rigged to never make it into any money slots. None of the scratch offs ever pay out cash. You ALWAYS win tokens though. Tokens are everywhere and they want you to have them because they basically do absolutely NOTHING. You use them to put entries in on a chance to win a gift card or item, but the likelihood of you winning that is VERY slim. I've put so much into one before and still didn't win. The tokens are basically useless. The games are fun and addictive though. So you'll have some fun playing those. They kept lying about their games not being rigged on app reviews and I have grown uber tired of it... I hate liars. I had about 23.5 million tokens and put 4010 entries into one item. We will see if anything happens with that. Good luck, you'll need it to win anything on here.

EDIT: Didn't win a thing...

I HAD BEEN PLAYING THE GAMES ETC., SINCE I RETIRED (ABOUT 1 /1/2 YEARS.) ONE DAY I WAS PLAYING THE SAME NUMBERS THAT I HAVE ALWAYS PLAYED AND IT WENT CRAZY. 10 NUMBERS SHOWED AND I GOT A NOTICE ON SCREEN THAT" I WON" AND I WAS GOING TO HEAR FROM THEM TO CONFIRM MY ADDRESS AND THEN SEND ME A CHECK. I WAS SO EXCITED I TOOK PICTURES OF MY SCREEN AND CALLED MY KIDS. IT WAS $5,000. MY KIDS CAME OVER AND SAID I REALLY MUST OF WON, BUT THEN I RECEIVED AN EMAIL THE NEXT DAY THAT SAID THE GAME MESSED UP SO THERE WERE NO WINNERS. I THINK IT SAID SOMETHING LIKE THEY WERE SORRY. I THINK I KNOW NOW THAT I AM WASTING MY TIME WITH THE ODDS LIKE YOU SHOW. THANKS FOR THE TRUTH.

Publisher clearing House I guess I'm going to apologize to you for all these people I don't understand them they want okay the game's okay if the game's not working just I understand that text somebody let him know but for god sakes are you really saying that PCH is that bad people come on the games are free they're fun it's fun to watch somebody win for me of course I want to win but I enjoy seeing somebody else when I'm not going to get mad at PCH for that because I didn't win it's just so I would like to see more positive reviews than these poor pitiful reviews needless to say I love PCA publisher clearing House I give you five stars and I pray you all have a wonderful day God bless us all

PCH games are a joke. I don't really think they give money to anyone! I play the blackjack game online. When it comes to picking cards of 21 to win the $1000. 00 or the $25,000 it is fixed. It doesn't matter which cards you pick, it is set for the last card to come up is always the 10 card so you ALWAYS go over 21 and have NO CHANCE OF WINNING THE $25,000. I also do not believe anyone wins the BINGO games either or the big prizes of so much a week for life. PCH IS A BIG JOKE!

It is difficult to write a limited review about this organization because there is so much to write about how awful this organization/company is with regard to its fraudulent games, fixed games (flip n win is totally fixed), to its sending out emails that i am about to or have won a major prize, when in fact they have hidden "if" in the email. Also, don't believe it when they say you don't need to purchase anything to collect a prize. What is not clear is that they add on a shipping and handling charge, so when thy say the items listed are under $10. That is not really true since they add on a shipping charge. A set of disability placard covers on PCH which they said would cost me $9.95, ended up costing me $17.98. I also purchased a set from Amazon, which were better, and the cost was $5.00, and the tax brought the item up to just over $6.00. If you have Amazon and/or Ebay, go to them first before buying anything from PCH. I have so far accumulated over 64 million tokens, and have yet to win any money or prizes. I have only placed my 64 million tokens against 3 prizes, and have won nothing at all for my time nd effort. To obtain 64 million tokens you have to give up at least 8 hours of your day. I am disabled and in a State where lockdown is in session, so decided to give PCH a try. It is a fraudulent company so please don't expect to win anything and by no means should you purchase any items from them before checking other sits like Ebay or Amazon for if there is a shipping and handling charge they are honest enough to place that amount up front.

I'm glad that I found this site and have had an opportunity to read similar complaints about PCH. Putting the technical difficulties aside for now, I've been playing these games for five or six years and have accumulated nearly 6 million tokens. You'd think that after playing literally thousands of games during this time, I would have won at least one $10 prize by now for my efforts -- nope. The site is obviously intended primarily to encourage the purchase of their direct marketing products. I have bought many of these products over the years and have usually been reasonably happy with my purchases; however, the shipping/handling fees are outrageously high and have discouraged me from making any additional purchases in the future. In general, PCH seems to be somewhat ethically challenged. A review of Wikipedia's reports of PCH's many lawsuits, government regulation violations, and its reputation as a junk mail producer. I originally searched for this site because of constant technical difficulties at PCH with the scratcher and instant win games, but I'm starting to realize that these complaints represent only a very small part of the overall problems associated with doing business with PCH. And by the way -- don't bother complaining to PCH if you're frustrated by these technical issues. They didn't even respond to my last email to customer service and my prior complaint was met by a request that I place a phone call. Yeah, that's just what I need; to spend half my afternoon on hold with tech support, especially since I've already reported this issue several times in the past.

As I have received many replies and many questions, I will state this yet again. PCH is just clean fun. For those who want to win, you have a better chance playing your state lotto or Mega millions of winning that. It seems to me those people who play pCH think it's beneath them to buy a lottery ticket or a scratch ticket. All of the PCH sweepstakes, search formats, and scratch off formats are just for amusement, just clean fun. As I have won twice, you can win too, but don't take it seriously. For those of you who think they are somehow specially entitled to win PCH just because they played and they didn't win it all, I say this: why should you win Megamillions just because you said so? Somebody does win legitimately, but not everybody wins. It's fun to play and fun to try, and you do not have to buy anything. And once in a while, Publisher's clearing House actually sells some innovative unique and useful products. It's just I prefer the online scroll format to all of the mail leaflets. PCH would be well to just use a mail order catalog like Walter drake but they don't, their only drawback in terms of their snail mail envelopes.

That's about the ONLY game you'll ever play on PCH's Token Games! "Sorry, we are experiencing technical difficulties, as a reward for your patience you've been granted tokens"... and FAIL FAIL FAIL every time to cough up those token you've supposedly been 'granted'! Oh, and you can be assured that whenever they do "Site Maintenance" that the coding gnomes who work there have totally screwed something up... like a game that had worked perfectly fine before! So if you love frustration, aggravation, disappointment, difficulties, patience that is never rewarded, web site failures, technical difficulties, a crap load of 'security questions' to answer & 1.2 trillions ads to skip thru just to get to a game that fails to load (while the ads, miraculously, NEVER experience an 'issue')... and if you like to feel like a real dumb a$$ for ever believing that PCH Games would be 'fun'... then by all means, beat your brains out with this idiotic site! Additionally, if you also enjoy having your email box crammed, overloaded, ballooning and about to explode with PCH's "Winning Opportunities"... then this is the site for you! But whatever you do, DO NOT encourage these people with an order!

I have been playing off and on since 2002 (keyword playing). Yes, I have been caught up in the "I could be the next big winner!" mode a few times and felt disappointed after playing game, after game, after game and only receiving one $10.00 check in all these years, and of course not winning the "big prize". BUT I have really liked most of the products I have purchased, such as the 7 pairs of women's gloves with slip resistant grips. I use them a lot when housekeeping, and use them as an extra layer inside gardening gloves and rubber gloves when I wash my dishes. Most of the house cleaning items are very chintzy, but they still come in handy. I have been very happy with DIY home cleaning tip/many use for books, and other books I have purchased over the years.
So my point is buy wisely, google reviews on the products, and take advantage of the occasional "Only 5.99 shipping & handling", and yes the $30.00 free gift. I have received truly beautiful good quality gift cards and bags, and enough little boxes of kitchen gadgets to use them as Christmas stocking stuffer's for my five adult children's homes, also customer service has been very good the couple of times I have had to call.
So to wrap it up, buy occasionally, play games, have fun and don't get caught up in the emotional frenzy.

My husband and I play the pch lotto everyday. I wanted in all pch sites and apps and play games and Lottie's everyday. It literally takes me all day to do all of this. Anyways. I'm writing this because I really want to warn others that it's not what it's cracked up to be. My husband matched ALL the numbers on 2 lotto cards the other night! 1 for $2500 and the other $500. We got an email confirming his matched numbers. We never got anything saying he won and so i reached out to pch on every website I could. Finally I got ahold of someone. They said there is no record of him winning. If he won then we would receive and email. In the rules it says in to win the prized featured on the lotto card, you must match all the numbers on the card. He did that. I asked how can I send my proof because I got quiet a bit of proof and they just repeated themselves saying he didn't win so I'm done. I'm very very angry and disappointed. All the time I took away from my kids in hopes I could give them a better life possibly and it turned out to be a scam. Also one more thing I played the basketball thing and made it in the hoop two separate nights and I still never won money just tokens. Wish I could give them a zero.

Not a day goes by that I don't get at least 5 to 7 e-mails -- then they are all basically the same would not one a day be enough? They need to wake up

I was notified recently by PCH e-mail that I had won 10,000 dollars. I was so excited and happy that I was already thinking of paying my 2007 SUV off and moving to a better house and also to have some money for my grandson's birthday (Dec 2nd) and Christmas of course. He will be 2 and I have pemament guardiansip of him until he is 18 yrs. Old. I am retired and it is hard to make Social Security go all through the month. Computers and people make mistakes but I was wondering why PCH doesn't give a consolation prize to those notified that they are the winners when they really aren't winners. PCH did apologize twice and I really do appreciate that and I am not angry. The gentleman who won has my congratulations and I am happy for him. Thank you. *******@yahoo.com
