Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com - sweepstakes is rigged by their own admissions

I as well as all the customers on the PCH emailing list have gotten emails stating that a number in the winning range would be given on that particular scam-paigne! Even Spock would agree that if PCH can give a number in the winning range they could also give a number in the losing range which is probably the case 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 percent of the time until they decide it's time to award a big prize to entice new people to sign up on their site. I have several who have told me that some of their products aren't even worth the 5.99 shipping and handling charges they had to pay on top of the product charge. Recently I started posting comments on Danielle Lam's facebook page about their BAIT AND SWITCH CONTEST as well as references to the 34 million and 19 million judgement they had to pay for their deceptive marketing practices. It took her a couple of days to catch my posts and she now has the page set so I can't post. LMAO So if you are sick of the PCH SCAM by all means get a facebook account and post your disgust on Danielle Lam's page. If your worried about them get the TOR program or install TUNNELKISS and use that and get a new fake email account at excite.com so they have no way to track who you are...

I caught them this last contest "early look". All entries had until 11:59pm on 12/18/18 to enter. Well, they messed up and 1pm on 12/18 they posted a blog post in which Lucky the check tells everyone he got a call from Danielle Lam saying there was no early look winner, but they would still award the $1 million prize ... I posted pointing out the ptoblem - my post was deleted, the blog was changed - post date from 12/18 - 12/20! Well, you would think that would do it, but they left the 1st posts to the blog which were at 1pm on 12/19! So I have a copy in a PDF file I downloaded for proof they have posts from 12/19 on the 12/20 blog and a few other tells I will keep quiet for now. I had high hopes of winning some day - I feel like I will never win because of what I found ... if there are any real winners at all...

I have been playing for years and have never got near the top 25 in total daily tokens. I submitted an email asking how does one get in the top tier of daily tokens? Their response was it was based on odds and probabilities. Then I had asked them why some people were consistently in the top tier?
I even gave them one name in particular that has not only been consistently in the top tier but this person won the daily tokes award 6 times in 3 months. With the millions of players what is the odds of winning 6 times in 3 months and be constantly in the top tier? After I gave the name all of a sudden this person was no loner there. I have come to the conclusion that the games are rigged and they choose when and who they want to give just to try and get more subscribers. I have accused them of using false names or bots to keep people from winning, I am sure because of that I am blackballed from ever winning if there was a chance. I now play solely to see how many points I will get, I know I will never get in the top tier and I will never win a prize. But that is okay I will never purchase anything from PCH.
