I keep playing and win lots of tokens, just having fun! I redeemed some of my tokens and I won $250. So this does work, odds are long, but they are real.
If you think you will ever win anything from this place, guess again. ALL of their games are fake, even the alleged so called "winners" names are fake. Its true, I searched the names of about 50 random names from their "winners" list and NONE OF THEM exist. All your ever going to get from them is a bunch of useless tokens from their online games that you can cash in for chances at non existent gift cards and stuff. The only thing i will say is that it is a great way to kill time if your bored. It takes hours to get through games because of all the commercials.
I stopped doing Publishers Clearing House years ago. I guess they just do not get it. I am not interested in getting rich or what they are selling. Still they tried again by sending a final step to win the jackpot prize letter. It was to be the very last one!
Ha! I got 4 more letters saying it is the final step and I am one of the winners! Really? Than why is it there is always another final step?
Do not waste your time! If you like what they are selling fine, but forget about the winning angle! All they are doing is feeding on your greed! I guess they think that is the only way to sale products, that people do not want!
I do not know why they are still in business! I guess there are many fools out there who do not read the rules and regulations of the prizes awards! Personally, I think it is all a scam to get people to by their products. There is no prize, just words!
Have never won any cAsh rewards only tokens I've been involved for several years now but I'm done with trying because it dose not add up from all the time I put in.
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.
It's not right to let a person think thay are going to win some thing and that person dont, i all ready dont have nothin so why make me feel like i could when you already no who you want to win
156 million tokens. Once had a game say I won $2000. 00 only to reset to 100 tokens. Was told that a $10,000 prize was a mistake. Just once I won $5.00 but it was a credit for a purchase. The site seems to be infested with viruses causing problems on my computer. Sure you have to put a line in the water to catch a fish but it seems there are no fish in this pond.
I wouldn't even give it a 1 star they deserve 0... they sent me a packet of papers a while back for a chance for me to win stuff I picked two things while that I would like to win and mailed it back to them few weeks later they sent me the items I would like with a bill! I refuse to pay a bill when the papers said FREE now they are trying to sue me. So I now have no choice but to pay it. Those papers never said anything about me having to pay anything they said free...

Not all you see is true. Well this is my letter. They probably send the same letter to everyone to get them to buy. :(
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.
YES IT WOULD BE SUCH A BLESSING i love your site games are fun breaks up the manoany of the day you give people hope dave is fun you have an awesome crew working i tell everyone about you im on your fan page facebook i play your games everyday
These tournament games are a joke.On the following dates my scores exceed those posted as high score and my name never appeared on the list. 7/5-7/8-7/14-7/20-7/24. The notes say you can win, but it never happens. Maybe I am in the wrong part of the country or you just pick who you want to win.
Why does redeeming so many tokens never win a prize? Many times I run out of tokens trying to redeem them, but there is NEVER A PRIZE WON!
I'm beginning to wonder if there's really anything to win with these big PCH payouts because I have been entering their contests fir at least 40 years and haven't won anything.
I now have one hundred thirty eight million tokens and no win! I have not missed a day in a month yet I am now back at the 5000 token start not the ******* that you get if you play daily. New games same slow down, and I'm sorry we are experiencing technical problems? Yet the commercials never have any problems.
I have over one hundred thirty four million tokens and have never won anything. Once though I won 5,000 dollars only to get email stating sorry? We made a mistake.
I have won 3 times and received the check in the mail with in more or less of 3 weeks. My device is keep playing, trust me they are real.
PCH items for sale are a little high. Then they charge you $7.99 for shipping a 2 oz. Package. This is where they get the money to pay for the winners, if there really are any. Every day they send out harassment emails trying to get you to spend more money, in the guise of games that can be won. Trying to make you think that if you buy more, you have a better chance to win, even though there is a disclosure. So my advice is to put the money you would have spent on the magazines and junk in the bank. Then you will have won money by not wasting it.
I had the same problem, played scratch off games, had white screen op up saying you Won, as soon as read it, it disappeared end of story! Somebody in government should wake up & investigate!
You are sick mean people no stars heartless money hungry pigs who take advantage of the low income people of this country! Take your technical errors and shove them up your?
