I want to win
March 18, 2016

I have been playing Pch for over 20 years and have not won anything. When I look up winners they are in California or Florida never see mass winners.

I have received soooo many final steps and last chances that it's a spam. I have played through the mail for 50 years, never one. Online, same thing.

Disappointment
July 7, 2021

After accumulating 130 million more points in six months (no easy feat, and I have over 320 million total lifetime points), it was all for naught. You can't win anything good except by random chance. Maybe I could've won a $100 gift card with that sum total, but is that worth six months of day and night effort? AND, in the last 2 or 3 weeks PCH has increased their ads so much between segments of a game that it's just not worth it anymore. Struggle thru all that excess garbage for half a year to win NOTHING?! Except. For word games which I use to keep my mind agile, I'm pretty much done with PCH.

Whatever you do DON"T ORDER PCH merchandise EVER if you don't want to get scammed and charged more than you paid. I was sent a 50% off coupons when I ordered I was charged the full price. I sent a check with the order then they sent me a bill that was overdue. I asked about my two checks I sent they said they don't take checks by mail. I asked where are my checks they don't know. So I paid my bill in full in January, $189.00 even asked the guy is my bill paid in full and he said yes. Then March 1 I get an overdue amount of 18.00 when I called she said it was a purchase from November. I asked why am I getting charged 18.00 from November when I paid it in full in January. She said, "Oh they forgot to add this amount." Then I asked to talk to a manager and she came to the phone and conveniently hung up on me. This is not the first time they did this and I will NEVER EVER ORDER FROM them again and if your smart you won't either. Their 7000 to 10,0000 a week is just a gimmic save your money go to Walmart or Target if you need something..

Pch can be frustrating
November 15, 2016

Pch.com browser on a tablet I know is frustrating. I dont use a computer so I have no idea how others feel on a computer. But I have nothing but trouble with half the things not working for me to get through, or is broken down. And to top it off, now I have been hacked with the congratulations, Amazon $1000. 00 reward or iPhone X, thingy.
It pops up about twice a minuet and it stops me from everything there now.
But besides that, even putting in complains, you call tech support, they act like we reallly care about your enjoyment at PCH but they never fix the problem.
I do believe they know that you have been there a while so they figure they make nothing off of you using their system so they put you to the side to take care of the fairly new players who are more willing to spend their money on their crap. As far as anyone really winning the big prize is my only hope having my wish to hopefully one day come true like the rest of us. I know they are trained to treat you like you are important to them, but in reality you are not. They have the billion who are members of pch with the same dreams in hopes that they too will become a lucky major prize winner. I know when I was new to the system the sight ran smoothly, then more and more problems happen to the site as if its deliberate. Im sure most feel the same as I. I even remember the time many got a pop up with their name showing they won $10,000. Then soon to get an email saying it was a mistake. They kindly apologized saying we would be put in a special drawing for 10,000, but I doubt they ever had that special drawing. Seems they would of announced to us who had won that being many felt we been had. I really do think Pch is poorly ran. Their coding needs either better care or take care of the old players too.

Ive been playing for many many years. When you play it shows 7k a week for life announced this date, that date its a 1million dollar winner,, then you get about 5-10 emails per day and saying were on our way to your house etc etc, untrue. Look at the winners in the last 2years a majority of life changing funds are won in cali, a majority of car winners are from nc.
And the few winners from florida are usually north florida, the recent aug 31 drawing which largo won was the furthest south ive seen them come. I live in boynton beach and have yet to see anyone in the last 2 years from south florida. I get spammed more to make orders.
Ive been playing for many years and i know i have a 1 out of a billion chance to win but the fact that no one in south florida has won any life changing money. Get spammed with thousands of emails (i would get 10-20 per day. Its just sad. I even wrote to the company to ask if people in florida were even eligible, i didnt expect a response its fine. But as a mom of 4 a teacher and facing foreclosure it would have been nice to get a response to know i at least had cause for hope. ( i know they received it because i sent it certified and it was signed for. It seems to be more for phishing to get people to place orders.
