Publishers clearing house is a complete scam! Everything about it is a scam scam scam! All of the games they have for you to play on the website are rigged. You never actually win any type of money. I played one of the games that said if I had 3 matches I would win 10, 000 dollars, I eventually matched 3 things and instead of winning 10, 000 dollars I was told I won a chance to be entered into a sweepstakes for a chance to win 10, 000 dollars, that is not what the directions said!
Also all of the slot games are programmed to never land on any money, instead you always win diamonds which gives you chances to play more and more games that you never win anything from! This place is a total rip off! Don't ever waste your time playing these games or entering the sweepstakes. All you will get is a whole bunch of bogus emails telling you that your close to winning but u never will! Chances of winning anything from these games are 0 to none! Stay away!

I have had the same experience & get multiple emails a day from them, telling me I have to use their search engine for a chance to win as well. I'm getting very frustrated as I have unsubscribed MULTIPLE times & continue to receive them. Either give me a prize or back off. I wonder if The Better Business Bureau would handle a complaint in this department.

Every time I play the games on PCH (Mostly scratch offs and jackpot numbers), I always end up with tokens, but never with cash. Therefore, I believe PCH's games are rigged. Like a previous poster once said, "The games are rigged, and they should be avoided." I wouldn't necessarily call it a SCAM, but it IS a waste of time.

I agree with you totally! I think ALL their games are rigged, and I wonder if the winners listed, are REAL people. It really makes you wonder. The ONLY reason I still play these games, is I am retired, and have a lot of free time now. So, I play the games for something to do.

I used to spend $$$ on their products every month .. for years! But now, I know I am wasting my time by purchasing their items. I never have won anything in the 13 years I have entered and bought many products. I am frustrated, and convinced now, that PCH is a scam.

Games are rigged to pay in tokens that are worthless. I have cashed in tokens all I get is more tokens. I play 10 games to go to flip card over that has 6 cards pays cash for card 10 and up. flipped the same card for a year, most I got was 9000 tokens. Then changed one day after watching other cards being face cards day after day guess what that day the one i was flipping day in and day out became a face card. Every day since it has been a 2 to 9. 220,000,000 tokens and 2 $5 checks. Bingo cards are programed also to pay tokens over. everyone of games are pre programed..
