Publishers Clearing House (PCH)

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?

This month they have changed the number of times you can apply to win a million/dollarized prize on their home page which was replete with games. Same with the 7 million or five million. Or any prizes amount they offer. Previously these amounts were able to be won in a variety of games they offer but Each game could only be played once. Now you play once for any amount and you're totally waiting your time playing for that amount anywhere else except in search, lotto, or two games they offer on line, oh and also in surveys, which I refuse to play. Have a ton of marketers know you most intimate info? No way!
They are reducing the number of chances you have to win and killing the number of times the people who advertise with them get to have you see their ads or merchandise.
They are now increasing the interval time in their on-line games with more ad time there instead.
Both make anyone not want to play any of their games. Its very defeating.
I have been a customer for 40 plus years. I only buy occasionally and it it only something I need. They say I've been a customer since 2004-5 but I started in the 80s (all games were played by mail) when they did not have computerized history.
I did enjoy playing their online games but now they take twice as long to earn the same number of chances to win as before. I am not undergoing misconceptions that winning is nearly impossible. If you look at what a millionaire is; it's kinda deceiving. They take a million and divide it over 25 years into $29.000.00 a year increments. Considering the taxes on this,...you stand a chance to really to win only $14,000.00 a year.
Not a million. And you have to live 25 years. With the dollar worth 10 cents on what it was in 1970, you get my drift.
Recently they have allowed their largest "super prize" to be given to a successor when you pass. That is an awesome offer. But it has only been recent and on a few games. Haven't seen it much this year.
All the amounts under a million-$900,800,700,600,$500,000 are similiarly broken down over 25-20 years.
Thus you really will only garner $12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7000.00 a year
Where you can will the entire amount is under 475K. There are prizes of $450,400,300,200,100,75,000.00, 50, 40, 30 15, 10, 6-5-and so on.
But pay close attention to the rules because they are generally two years from today.
The odds are in the "BILLIONS" to win a prize. The only prize being won is reduced further if it's offered (ea. Attempt is offered a billion plus times.) You have to hit the exact one. So we're really talking near impossible. It may be offered and the offer is not taken.
Your best odds are really long, as long as winning the lotto and thats the guess the exact 5-6-7 numbers in their "lotto games". I have seen only one be won in last 5 years, and it was for $4000,000.00 oh and a couple of million games.
It is a free chance unlike the store where you truly throw your money away trying to win the same.
Thus this is their best game to play.
To win a vehicle (valued at highest retail price) the odds are also incredibly long but the chances are free unlike games of choice that cost dollars.
So my advice is playing games for free (which now demand you spend more time watching ads) is truly the best attempt to win.
They have been much better at letting you know the cost of what you are buying,, showing you the mailing fee plus your item. The mailing fee, which is on an arbitrary system based on valuation rather than the actual mailing cost. So an item for $15.00. The mail fee is $7,00 thus making the total nearer $22.00
The item going for $20.00 has a higher mailing fee even though it does not weigh any more and might even be smaller.
So Caveat Emperor
I do enjoy playing the games personally because they are free. Free gambling is the best kind.
Your time is the cost. What is your time worth? Playing all their games on a laptop and a cell phone to reduce the total time invested leaves you at approximately 5 hours daily. On one devise approximately 6-7 hours. You really must justify this. I figure hundreds of chances on their games beat once or twice all dy long. But still, you must divide 5000 chances into odds of billions
I do play as I am retired and remember my Mom playing on her extremely limited income (SS) and wishing to heaven she'd win. I wanted to help her so very bad.
Those days in the 60-80s were amplified with deception marketing practices where the person buying items was often led to believe they were on the cusp of winning. Or had won.Period.
After multiple lawsuits PCH made the changes to spell out everywhere "that you had not yet won, but you might." Now a days,. It's strictly "you have not won, and buying won't enhance your chances" which is what they should have done all those years ago. My Mom really thought and believed she had won.
One of the main reasons I play is to make her dream come true. Sure I could use the money, who cannot?
But I have a deep desire to make her dream come true.
I know the odds, I know the costs, now you do too

I've been using there app for a decade. They claim you win real money and tokens for prizes on there games. Yeah, you win tokens you have to redeem for prizes you might be able to win. I don't believe you win anything but tokens. Its just to keep you playing with the hopes of winning. They tell you there's a chance with every game. I play several times a day for years I've never won anything but tokens I have redeemed for prizes I never received. You decided!

Trying to speak to a person I was finally able to do so, being persist paid off since they drop the amount of my bill. No free gift but at least I feel it was a fair solution. The people who I chatted with were helpful even though I was pretty upset. My beef was with PCH not their associates, Thank you for the help in this matter.

2019 5 Instant winners amidships of slots game. This 2,500.00 never paid. Never addressed.
Also what is advertised not always what get
Example a Christmas Projection unit is not a. 99cent Flashlite

I have been a member for over 10 years and purchased numerous items. Not only are most items more expensive then finding it elsewhere online, most are cheaply made. I have been disappointed in many items, though there are many that I like. Myself I have only won a $10 Amazon gift card, but you know we have to keep in mind millions of people are playing numerous times a day. I myself don't have the time to sit on the computer all day. Those who think purchasing will make you one step closer to winning can't read.
I enjoy the games when I have a chance to play. It's free and you take the same chance when you spend money on lotto cards, so why complain?

I now have several million overall tokens, a sapphire rating, and a VIP Member and have been playing since 2007, ten years and have only won cash prizes twice, last year one $100 check for one of the sweeps and last month one $10 check on a games play, but have spent hundreds of $$$ for merchandise all made in China which does affect sizing, seems everything from there is made smaller than here, way overpriced shipping/handling prices and you cannot get any satisfaction from customer service... after this season's purchases are all paid off, I am quitting!

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.

I have been with publisher clearing house for a long time. I am closing out my account today and going to apply all my tokens to. The giveways, I have enjoyed playing your games great tragic effects. I am in full blown 4th stage nonalcoholic liver disease. When I started playing I was hoping for a miracle. I was hoping to win enough money to get my husband a F 150 ford truck that he sold when I got sick. We had a dream of building a small cabin near the river here so we could be near our grand babies. Bur, that was another lost dream. We have taken all our money to travel to the doctors. It would of been nice to have enough money to live comfortably. Ir" s my fault for having hope that I might be one of them lucky ones. My children kept telling me I was wasting my time. So I have become exhausted and I will be closing out my acct today. And for everyone who is still playing good luck to all of you. Thank you PCH for your fun games. I guess my loyalty wasn" t enough to win

Been playing since I was 18. Now 66 bought a lot of crap. Have never even come close, maybe because m from the south. Look up how many southern people compared to the rest of the country. My last time trying

I have tried several times to open emails (laptop/mobile) from PCH which come through Spectrum.com will not open, therefore this problem minimizes your chances of winning anything.

Rusts very quickly, not a good product - I tossed it out.

Most of PCH products are what I expect.

I do not have anything else to say about this product. You

Probable time for me to move on. Spent over 150 Million tokens with no win and that did not take a short amount of time to accumulate. Odds of winning $1000 1 Billion to 1. I also purchased 3 times: first two product broke in two days. All 3 low quality.

Over 15 million tokens and not one win and I'm not a binge player with a lot of points. That's a lot of hours watching commercials. Fun at time but getting a bit old.

Other reviews mentioned glitches and errors, which do happen frequently on their games.
I did an experiment and in the clown game, I always picked # 5, every time, for at least 3 months. IT NEVER WON, That led me to believe, they are programmed to never win. And yes, the same goes for their scratch cards.
I did receive a $10.00 check. Probably on one of their spin wheels. These small amounts keep things legal, but I don't see their million dollar winners, in the paper or on T. V. "All in all" if you can get past the annoyingly, to many video commercials, which seem to be getting more and more present, in-between each scratch-off. It's up to each of us, to decide if it is worth it.

Political products should not be on this site or political ads. It's sad to see this site going in that direction. I will not purchase any products as long as I see products that appear to endorse any political candidate especially Donald Trump.

I am disappointed with pch I have been on here since 2008 and all I have won is 5 bucks. They keep telling me don't give up keep going we could be heading your way this time. All I get for being on here is tokens that doesn't help much either. Pch builds up your hopes for nothing. I need the money! It gets very upsetting. I try to enter on every email, do what ever they say and still Nothing... I am about ready to stop doing any of it..

It's fun over wellness of just the thought of being a 7,000 dollar winner one day. Wat a ruah. Every day I got my phone working on the house some of the deals and offer's are amazingly good

I want to order something and pay for it by phone. Need a phone number. Evelyn L. Suiter, Cust, # --023-8878-1698.

This hotel ( JW Ihilani) has been closed for years, no 76 station close by, got it right on the Safeway. But it's free so why not try. Just play when watching TV

Don't feel bad everyone. I've been licking the stickers since 1973 and have entered daily for 4 years and have never won anything either. Some say its a hoax but how do you know? I will continue to enter daily what's it going to hurt there's worse things in life.

At this point winning isn't a want its a must...
