Like others, I have spent millions of tokens all in one contest and yet still won nothing
Say I use my tokens every few days or so for a certain prize and I continue to use my tokens for the same prize every few days. Do my tokens continue to be held in my used account for that prize or does PCH treat each "buy" as a totally separate entry.
Have you noticed that more then half the winners seem to be from texas? I'd like to know why.
I have been using the pch lotto app for some time now and i've got my numbers to match twice but nothing happened it says win real money but i have yet experienced a win even after matching all my numbers can some one please explain this to me
Even if you are born on this date, live in this city and have these initials, you can't win. PCH never publishes the winner in the city, birthdate, or the person with the initials. I wonder if there is anyone with the initials XYZ, that has received the email, and has won. The odds would be astromical for them not to win.
These folks are total jerks, constantly spamming you with nonsense. Do yourself a favor, and assign their emails to SPAM. Even then you will still get your email bombed with their garbage.
Every single day there is, "one last step to win." Yeah, like forever, and they want you to scroll through 4 pages of crappy products before you can submit an entry. Even then you will get, "an order would be appreciated." Well, I'll place an order when that multi-million dollar winnings is mine, but in the meantime, I don't think so.
I have been entering PCH since the early 1970's as a 20+ year old. I recently concluded, I am building castles in the sand that wash away with the tide as I am now 66+ years old and never won so much as a dollar. My last token totals were in the millions. I have stopped playing.
Time to construct on a solid foundation,
I've been playing for 41 years and haven't won a thing. Rip off? I'm beginning to think so, since I see a 21 yr. old and 26 yr. old winning big prizes and others winning on their first try. What a bunch of BS.
I am stefon mitchell i win but i did not get it this is my long in *******@yahoo pass word stefon ok thinks
At this point winning isn't a want its a must... I'm a 30 YO Man in a wheelchair since birth living in an old folks home my second one im tired of low-income housing getting bedbug bites, druggies all through the buildings, couch surfing, rescue missions & i've even been on the streets homeless and thats not easy for anyone and im stuck in this dang wheelchair how hard do you think that is? Pretty dang hard so yeah im not a greedy person i just want to be safe and not have to worry about money or my living situation and SSDI doesn't cut it!
I have been playing Pch for over 20 years and have not won anything. When I look up winners they are in California or Florida never see mass winners.
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
I too have lauded PCH for decades. And, I too used to send in the paper versions for decades and then switched to the online version.
And, yet in the 35 years that I have dealt with PCH I haven't won a single penny or a single prize. NOTHING. Maybe, I am just that unlucky.
Plus, 50% of everything that I purchased was considered junk. It either didn't work upon arrival, or it broke within a week of arrival. Then I had to pay postage to send it back.
This is why I am now cynical about the reality of PCH. I have a better chance of getting hit by lightening.
Yes, the games were fun... until they got monotonous and started sending you to yet another stream of pages of items to purchasex then another, and another, and another,...
Enough said.
If you play all the games in PCH, you probably will earn an average of 100K to 200K tokens daily even though they do not tally accurately. I redeemed over 150 million tokens for the PCH REWARD sweepstake gift cards and won nothing. These are not even big prizes about $50 to $250 gift cards. I even bought twice from the website and it did not help. I don't really know if the names of the daily winners really exist. Somehow, none of them have FB lol. That is a big red flag in my opinion. However, the most you will win on the pch website is about $10 just to keep it legit. I am sorry but based on my own experience, i cannot recommend the site at all.
Pch is nothing more than a scam! First of all, what company is able to afford to pay you 7,0000 a week, or what ever the new amount is! I have played and played, and entered, and entered. They make so called promises, such as, "you are the next big winner! " yeah right.
I've played PCH games even before the internet. Actually when they first begun, mailing their games etc. to our homes. Which are more years then I care to admit. Never won a dime, nothing. The paper clutter was overwhelming. It became 'junk mail'. I swore I wouldn't do I again. But, I got caught up in it again online because of games. Now@ 7 figure tokens. I'm noticing the slower pace in the amount of winning tokens per game. I guestion why that seem to happen soon as I reached that 7 figure. I really wonder how long it took others to reach a 9 figure sum. I shrudder to think the hours it took! And not win a dime! Maybe $10.00 for all those times spent. Frustrating.
They make u believe your gonna win and their instant games always mess up and say error they never let me win i place 200 and 300 token on prizes never win its all q host
Have been playing for years now. Have never won a single thing. My email keeps being plagued with "last chance to enter" or some encouraging email that I could very well possibly be the next winner. I supposedly ordered something from them and I've had to call back numerous times to cancel the order. Never mind the fact that the call center was in India. They also encourage you to play their games for chances of prizes and all i get is tokens and ive never actually seen or heard anybody win from them. I cant give merit to them being a hoax and scam but if this country can have rigged voting and crimminal money printing then i certainly wouldnt be suprised this pch operation is just smoke and mirrors.
Answer: Probably but we keep playing as the games do give us something to do. Wouldn't bet on a big win however.
Answer: Am I still in the running for PCH's $7,000.00 a week win Thanks hoping for good news. My computer was down for two days. Does this disqualify me
Answer: I know they keep changing the dates for winning and they say no purchase needed until the end with a notice to buy something and you will be on their list they should be accounted for to better business bureau and all the items are made in china this company must be owned by china I'm done with them
Answer: Oh this is big time scam. Like I said in my review we put to much time into this wack company that when see anything about money we think it's them. Nobody ever wins there special early look prizes unless it's a guaranteed giveaway.
Answer: Well, and just as I expected, the October 23 "special early look" did NOT result in the "mega prize" being awarded. Surprise, surprise! I saw that they immediately started advertising on TV their next "mega prize" (what is it now? $5000 a week for life? Bet they don't award that one, either!) Just a scam to drum up sales to weak-minded people who actually think they have a snowball's chance in you-know-where to win anything at odds of almost 2 billion to one. A total fraud!
Answer: I didn't know this but it makes sense as there is nothing to it but the same thing day after day. PCH has gone downhill with games, lately, as even the daily puzzles, now, just drag and are hard to move the pieces. Too many puzzles and probably too many people playing, Also same thing, every day and are only for fun to kill time with. Maybe, now, they are just not monitoring the sites to see their problems. Bingo, no great loss.
