I have been playing PCH Sweepstakes for 16 years now and always had a good experience but lately has become a bit frustrating. I had stopped receiving emails and mail from PCH due to not taking a survey. I never received anything in the mail to take a survey and no one contacted me by phone with no message left to call them back to take a survey. Because I didn't respond my I was taken off their mail and email list um what?
Also stay aware of items you purchase on line with them as I paid my bill online them to get the same bill two weeks later by mail I have been double billed many times just pay attention to what you order with them.

Great company
July 7, 2021

If your looking for a quick win your not going to get it. It takes a special kind of person too hold the faith day after day with no wins. The truth is you probably will not win but most pch players play because it's fun and it gives people hope. I play because it gives me something to do and it passes time. I've never won in my three years red diamond level of playing but like I said it's fun dreaming about that big win and being part of the fun also congratulating people and supporting other players who are serious is fun. But no hardly anyone wins, but you never know it could be you and it's free just part of your daily routine gets you chances at big wins. I wish everyone best of luck and too my fellow players keep the faith and good luck. I'll be seeing you at red diamond level

PCH says "Our bad"
September 28, 2016

You won $10,000! OMG FINALLY! We play all the time. I mean it's not a million but $10,000 is a lot for our family! Then the email... that basically says "oops... our bad! We made a mistake". How does a clearinghouse of this magnitude make that kind of mistake and not honor it? It's not much for them but it's a lot for us. We called their representative and they once again confirmed that the win notification was in error. They told us due to that error we will be entered into another special drawing for a second chance. Ok. But doesn't really seem fair or ethically ok.

Not sure what to think
February 9, 2016

Do people still actually win this sweepstakes? I keep signing up and find myself on other sites for coupons and what not. And I haven't heard of any actual winners lately so I don't really know what to think of them anymore these days.

I have been playing since I was young. I'm 44 now. No I haven't won anything but I play daily. I read many reviews that say their fake. I still find that hard to believe. I love playing PCH games and doing the searches. I also think maybe it's not my time to win yet. But pray one day they will be at my door. Good Luck All. STAY IN IT TO WIN IT

This outfit is riding the edge of approaching scam status. By business' views, they're a success! The merchandise is borderline quality; even their "Shannon Crystal" is NOT made in Ireland, but China. It seem 99% of goods are from China. The magazines can usually be ordered more cheaply if you take the reductions offered directly from the publishers. They seem to be on the edge of being legitimate with their contests. Do YOU know ANYONE personally who has won a REAL prize, even just a few bucks? How about a million dollar winner? Get your magazines and merchandise elsewhere!

Unscrupulous employee
August 29, 2015

I received a cell call this morning August 29,2015 at 9:15 am from *******673 from Jamaica. I called the number at 9:55 am and was informed that it was Publishers Clearing House. I held on the phone until a man came on and I politely asked him to please remove my telephone number. He answered "f++k off and F++k you" and hung up.
Good luck with the PR of this company.

The two sets came. In both sets, bowls were broken. They are almost as thin as a light bulb, definitely not worth the price. Very dangerous if you have small children. They break SUPER easy because they are so thin. These are worthless and unusable. This set of bowl with lids are JUNK!

Thanks pch. I see something I might want I will check with Walmart, Target, bed bath and beyond, Menards.
One of those usually will have it and better quality, no way over priced s/h. Usually in stock and a better price and get it the same day.
I have a life time 667,000,000 in tokens with 8,000,000 on hand. Due the math. Nothing in winning.
Don't get your hopes up.
Like I said just a shopping catalog.

PCH Rip off
May 6, 2021

Please do yourself a favor and NEVER order anything from PCH! It is a total scam and rip off! They trick you into thinking you will be the next big winner but it never happens! I have been a customer for 14 long years, filled out all the forms, emails and wasted all my time doing so... you will never win... this is just a gimmick to get your money... all their products are cheap, come form China and are overpriced... STAY AWAY from the PCH Scam Please!

Game of chance only
September 15, 2019

I play on a daily basis. I don't think it is a scam. I looked up the last winner and he was on the news. One thing about it millions of people are playing and the chances are slim. No where does it state you have to purchase anything. Everything I have purchased has been top notch. Well, the less people that opt out is a higher chance for me to win.

Great source of ideas
November 7, 2020

But way too high on shipping. In fact, most of their products double in price due to shipping cost. So, I use their product list for ideas, then I copy the product name and go to Amazon. I do a search for the same product. Usually, that product will show up for a couple of dollars more. But, with free 2 day shipping it's still about half what you'd pay on PCH.com

Tokens
June 7, 2016

I've been just playing my favorite games and letting my tokens "build up" so that I could have enough tokens to bid on a prize. Well I built up over a million tokens and had 1200 entries on a 100.00 cash card. I just knew I'd win that card. Guess what... I didn't get it. I've been playing for going on 7 months straight, day in and day out and still have won NOTHING! When playing minute games I notice that the "winners" are the same people! What's up with that. Now I'm really wondering if pch is a scam or not. I don't see anything that proves otherwise. The way it seems... I could be playing and entering sweepstakes for years and still not win anything!

Games have gone to the dump.
Act like they don't want anyone to play free online!
They pull every stunt in the book to help you not finish a game.
They drop targets. They freeze targets like crazy. New thing is this crazy blocking of targets. Seriously bad the past 2 months.
Why advertise free: when obviously not their agenda?
I know how to play. Once upon a time use to be enjoyable
The game is Mahongg Minute

Games are Free
May 19, 2020

I like the games, they are free and you have a chance, remote as it may be, of winning something as well. It's better than going to a site where you have to pay money and face the prospect of losing more. I've won $10 twice, but nothing super substantial. Still it's fun to dream.

Scammers
November 12, 2022

I don't understand why our government allows a business to literally lie to the public about its sweepstakes and take their money without delivering the product. I also don't understand why someone like Steve Harvey with a good reputation would stoop so low as to sell his name to this horrible company.

PCH has been around A very long time, if they were A scam they would not be operating for 50+ years? People do your research :) You may have very slim odds of winning but that don't mean no1 wins! I mean some people have been entering for 40 or more years, think about it, there is a lot of people entering and only 1 can win! But it can happen! And by the way I do not work for PCH :)

It took me 11 years paying higher than average prices to realize that I could make better use of my money! Then the straw that broke the camel's back was the constant demand for payment for goods I had not received! My advice to everyone out there is if you want better quality and want to save do not consider PCH! It will be quicker for you to save the money than the thousands they suggest you could win if you ever do!
