By the way! I am a cook and they filmed me pilling a potato and everyone is talking about how fast I pill and now I am Mr. Potato to many!

A pop-up 9/16 claimed I was the VIP Grand Prize Winner of $10K. 12 hours later, PCH stated that MY win was a "MISTAKE" because THEY had posted my name in the announcement rather than a MAN'S across the country. I took a digital picture of the pop-up of my win and I am going to call for an investigation of several of their selection criteria. I want my prize check! UPDATE: After urging everyone to contact their State Attorney Generals regarding this "mistake," I have pinned PCH's ears to the wall on the Customer Service Blog. I have now been BLOCKED from the blog for a few days now. Read the "post" from a "Jason Keeton" from Decatur AL... I think it is a TROLL post that immediately popped up, after I was blocked, to taunt/insult me. Read this over-the-top drivel and tell me what you think! Thanks!

Wish I could give less than one star. I was playing this morning the instant win games and it poppex up said i won $10,, 000, i was so excited because i was just cheated out of my inhairatenct thought this was a blessing. Turns out they say it was a mistake an "eronious e mail they didnt send" what a lie because it wasnt in an e mail it. WAS INSTANT WI N. How can they do thizs i turned off my phone went to sleep next morning its still there. So i e mail them to see how to get my money and they lie to me like im an iidiot and dont know the difference brtween e mail and there web site. PCH YOUR THE IDIOT. YOU THINK IM GOING AWAY QUIETLY. YOUR WRONG AGAIN. I WANT WHAT I WON. NOT SOME CHANCE AT A DRAWING WE ALL KNOW NOBODY WINS. PAY UP AND ILL SHUT UP UNTILL THEN. IM TELLING THE WORL PCH IS A SCAM DONT BY THE LIE!

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.

PCH is the WORST sweeps prize EVER to exist with however they put the #s with peoples names& however they go about picking the winner REALLY, REALLY SUCKS! With having 17 years of getting sweeps garbage in the mail & turning in my name& #'s stuff each time&also even entering in online with never ever ordering anything & my name has NEVER EVER been chosen by them at all, during all these years! So whoever puts the names & numbers together & whoever picks the winner does a HORRIBLE JOB in picking the winners since NO ONE should wait over 15years for his or her name to finally get picked to win 1 of these money prizes! PCH is the WORST sweeps prize giveaway company ever!

I started using it and I won $5.00 and it was automatically put into my Amazon account (I believe it was the "Thank You" wheel. I know, the bottom of the barrel right? Yes, but it is something. So you DO win cash, but I still believe they are rigged like casinos to where they mostly give you tokens and that is about it. I've made PLENTY of tokens believe me. It's obvious the ping pong ball is rigged to never make it into any money slots. None of the scratch offs ever pay out cash. You ALWAYS win tokens though. Tokens are everywhere and they want you to have them because they basically do absolutely NOTHING. You use them to put entries in on a chance to win a gift card or item, but the likelihood of you winning that is VERY slim. I've put so much into one before and still didn't win. The tokens are basically useless. The games are fun and addictive though. So you'll have some fun playing those. They kept lying about their games not being rigged on app reviews and I have grown uber tired of it... I hate liars. I had about 23.5 million tokens and put 4010 entries into one item. We will see if anything happens with that. Good luck, you'll need it to win anything on here.

EDIT: Didn't win a thing...

My husband and I play the pch lotto everyday. I wanted in all pch sites and apps and play games and Lottie's everyday. It literally takes me all day to do all of this. Anyways. I'm writing this because I really want to warn others that it's not what it's cracked up to be. My husband matched ALL the numbers on 2 lotto cards the other night! 1 for $2500 and the other $500. We got an email confirming his matched numbers. We never got anything saying he won and so i reached out to pch on every website I could. Finally I got ahold of someone. They said there is no record of him winning. If he won then we would receive and email. In the rules it says in to win the prized featured on the lotto card, you must match all the numbers on the card. He did that. I asked how can I send my proof because I got quiet a bit of proof and they just repeated themselves saying he didn't win so I'm done. I'm very very angry and disappointed. All the time I took away from my kids in hopes I could give them a better life possibly and it turned out to be a scam. Also one more thing I played the basketball thing and made it in the hoop two separate nights and I still never won money just tokens. Wish I could give them a zero.

I have played PCH games & have entered thier Sweepstakes for almost 30 years now. I've purchased from thier mailings years ago (thousands of dollars of useless merchandise)won absolutely ZERO dollars but I'm now up to 23Million, Seven Hundred Eighty One four hundred and forty four Tokens. YAY! I now qualify to win cash. I actually won 2 $10 dollar gift cards. 1 walmart & the other Amazon card. However, I had to fight tooth & nail to get my prize. Soon as you win in one of thier games, the site suddenly begins to have technical difficulties or the site will send you a fizzle word which they want you to type in and match. Even after matching the same word, the site tells you the word you entered does not match. I had to screen shot the matching words to prove to PCH, that I had won and was putting in the correct info before I could actually collect my $10 bucks. The only good thing about the game now is that you don't get bombarded with excessive amounts of physical junk mail. Now they bombard your email inbox with tons of emails treating to forfeit your entris if you don't respond. It's freaking Crazy.

You sign up for a sweepstake, and you get bombarded with multiple emails a day... and links to purchase things from unreputable sights and the information you supply is NOT protected. I received a scam phone call from a 876 area code saying i won. Fortunately I am smart enough to know that this was not really PCH. I truelly do not believe anyone ever really wins. I think the people shown as winners are paid actors. And the PCH is nothing more than a marketing plan that prays on the people hopes. You have a better chance of winning the lottery than PCH... at least with the lottery, you wont get bombarded with stupid games and emails.

Writing this review is probably the most enjoyment I have ever received from playing PCH stupid games for many many many years. At least online I am not wasting postage sending in the paper entries of years past. But think about it... You actually get more than pie in the sky. You get the many many spam emails on a daily basis from other scam specialists associated with PCH. But here is good thing you do get from playing PCH; if you are disciplined enough not to buy anything then you get that HOPE of winning something without paying a dime for it in the state lotteries that give you a chance of winning at a billion to one odds game that does cost you lots and lots of money.

There, now I feel better.

I have been faithfully playing all of the games every day for years, winning tokens. And for what? I also of course enter to win the big prize of $5,000 a week, faithfully send in these these entries every single day. There is no way possible with the amount of tokens that I spend that I haven't won the items that I've bid on. This absolutely HAS to ne a SCAM! I have played the games and sent in my entries for YEARS on. A daily basis. Bid in prizes for years... and nothing? Come on now.
