Publishers Clearing House (PCH)

I read the odds before I decided to go down the PCH highway so I had no illusions as to my chances. I play the games to kill time.

What is frustrating however, is the abysmally poor quality of the merchandise. I've purchased product three times and have been disappointed. The products are cheaply made but sold at near premium prices and in some cases the S & H was almost as much as the product itself.

Finally I said to myself, "how else can they pay celebrity endorsers, commit to millions in legacy costs and still make a profit?" I don't buy anything from PCH anymore.

I (stupidly) ordered a scratch remover for a one time price of $9.95. It came in and was two little pens that smelled like nail polish remover I was very doubtful since autos have clear coats over the paint and should not be screwed with. Directions said to press the point down to get the chemical to flow. Nothing ever flowed from the tip. Seemed dry. After trying a few times i opened the thing and it was totally dry. They sent a bill for $17.98 which i refuse to pay. I sent the $9.95 plus 7% tax for our state sales tax $10.65. They keep billing and i keep putting in trash. If they want to try to ruin my credit for $7.00, go right ahead. I'm 75 and don't expect to purchase another anything to finance in this llife, so... happy journey! Bunch of scammers NOBODY wins. Just a filthy way to get rid of chinese crap that won't sell anywhere else.
Junk and scammers. Should be shut down, totally.
Stay away from the crooks.

Having been in retail sales for over 30 years, I've never experienced a more poorly run business. They opened their games and chances to win online, with countless crashes, and therefore frustration. Their products are garbage- I'm certain the winners are thrilled, and I'm happy to see that, but this company makes playing, winning and fairness for all- very difficult!
It's very frustrating for everyone they portray themselves unrealisticaly.

I have just been reading about lawsuits involving PCH. Now I understand.
I have been a loyal player since 1995, and haven't won so much as a postage stamp.
Then they have these stupid games, that give you tokens. Lord, what a waste of time. I have decided to pull the plug on this travisty of peoples faith in this company.
Goodbye PCH. Your a fake. Read all the lawsuit information online. You will stop playing also. The merchandise is sub standard, and always the same stuff.
I'm done

Pch items and shipping charges are way over priced. Same items in stores are always cheaper. Items that I've shipped myself are half of what they charge. They sent me two "free" gifts, but I had to pay $5.95 each for shipping! They say keep entering to win, but then say the winning number wasn't turned in to them. Then why don't they pick another number from actual entries?! And why is it that every time I scratch off their extra or bonus winning cards, I always get the highest amount possible! I'll tell you why, cause it's scam rip off!

They just want your money to buy things RIP OFF. Plus merchandise is $10.00 just to ship to you! Played f0r years upon years and never get anywhere except a waste of time and energy. Loss of money too. Some products really are nice and helpful and sometimes the games waste time when there is nothing else to do. But winning a jackpot? Especially ones that say someone in your zip code will absolutely win! Oh really? This is such a small town@ everyone would know if that were true. PCH needs to get real! Real jackpot winners. No more games of deceit just to sell merchandise.

Statistically, one has a much better chance of getting hit by lightning, and probably twice, than winning any really big pot from their games. I'm also a little suspect, because one time I got a popup during a game saying I won $10k, and took a screenshot of it for documentation, but when I got no notification, I contacted them and sent a copy of the screenshot containing the message, and they replied back saying it was a 'systems glitch.' So, my takeaway from that is they can cite that an award popup message can be labeled as a 'systems glitch' whenever they don't feel like awarding any money. But, I'm not disappointed, because I played with absolutely no expectations whatsoever, and a skeptical view that these guys might be crooks. As such, my expectations are completely satisfied.

Never enter the PCH sweepstakes online. When you do you open up the floodgates of hundreds of unwanted emails, sometimes 3 to 4 or more a day. They try and trick you by saying you're giving up your chance to win the big prize if you don't scan through pages of crap you probably would never buy. Wake up to the reality that when your odds of winning are over 2,000,000,000 to1, giving them hours of your time will always be for naught. My time is more valuable to me than allowing myself to be controlled by this fantasy.

Hi everyone! Well, I love PCH. Even though it's kinda hard to win stuff because so many people enter, this website is LEGIT! I played a game called Quiz4Cash, I think it was like in early 2009 when they had the game (got cancelled since), it was a great game. I received 2 $200 checks from them. It was awesome, because I was unemployed at the time. I just wanted to let everyone know my experience with them as being legit when I played their games and DID receive money about a month after I claimed it on their site. I still play their sweepstakes games. Just wanted to say that they are the real deal.
