Publishers Clearing House's Prize Patrol Presents Superprize Winner Karen Anderson with a Million-Dollar Surprise

When Karen Anderson opened the door of her home in Bella Vista, Arkansas to see the Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol standing outside, complete with champagne, balloons, and an oversized check, the first word out of her mouth was a shocked, "No!"

Karen Anderson, who lost her job in October, was shaking and near tears when she was told the big news. "You have no idea how this is going to help!" she said, in a trembling voice. "You have no idea what this means to me."

This was far from an overnight success story. Karen entered Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes for years before becoming a lucky winner. She started entering in 1997, but her persistence finally paid off. You can see her winning moment for yourself by watching Karen Anderson's winning video on the PCH website.

Want to win a big prize yourself? You can enter the current Publishers Clearing House Giveaways or try these sweepstakes:

They keep saying it is being given away in an early look and nothing happens, it was well advertised as being given away on feb 28th(3rd or 4th time now) and nothing happened.

Hey, pch doesnt not accept returns. you would have had to call with in a ridiculous amount of time to cancel an order. once you have it… your kind of stuck with it. I’ve read their terms and conditions more than once. its crazy and stupid, but its their rules. best bet is to call.(not an easy thing to do) talk about getting the run around… be persistent.

I’m not a hater of Publisher Clearing House but how do you determine your winner when you said I’ve won?

I think it’s amazing how the winner is going to be someone with your initials in your area. However my father in different county, totally different intials gets the same letters.

(20) Elaine says:

I was bombarded with PCH mail telling me someone in my neighborhood with the same initials as me was going to win the million dollar prize. Well, I live in WV not in Arkansas where the actual winner lives.

I will not fall for any of their lousy mail schemes again.

July 15, 2011 at 7:45 pm
(21) Angela says:

Are you people serious? Read your letters more closely, they always include smaller print that says something like “if yours is the winning number”. They never promise to give you any prize, because they don’t know until they draw the winner. DUH. They’re just trying to get everyone to participate, because the more people who participate, the higher the chances are that they will sell more stuff.

Once again, DUH, people. Read your mail better.

September 26, 2011 at 1:47 am
(22) Kathryn says:

Angela’s right, you need to read your mail. You can’t get mad at something like that, its a wast of your time. It’s a business like any other.

(30) MiMi says:

I kept getting emails that the winner would be selected for the grand prize of the $5000.00 a week for life on August 31st 2011 and I continue to receive these emails that I can still win. It is still a rip, just like in the past when Dick Clark and Ed Mcmahon were in with PCh and they got into trouble. If you do not when the grand prize why do they continue to send emails for you to enter when the prize has been given away? Is it for next year? Forget it, after August 31st , 2011 I got a message that PCH was now closed. I am through and will never enter agin. I am not a sore loser, I just believe it is all bogus to sell Magazines and for them to receive money for the ads affiliated to enter.
I am trough and blocking them!!!!

September 11, 2011 at 3:19 pm
(31) Sandra Grauschopf, Guide to Contests says:

Yes, PCH often repeats the $5,000 A Week for Life Sweepstakes, and has been doing so for years. The rules for the current $5,000 a week for life giveaway states that this one will run through November 18, 2011.

By the way, Ed McMahon never worked for PCH. That’s a common myth that I’m doing my best to stomp out :D

September 18, 2011 at 8:13 am
(32) T.S. says:

I hope to god I win this, because when I do I will show the world pch has allowed me to be this winner.whats wrong with this world now, nobody believes in anything anymore…..

(33) Marilyn Joan Hadey says:

IT WOULD BE SUCH A BLESSET HONOR TO WIN THE $1,000,000.00 MILLION DOLLARS ON OCTOBER 31ST, 2011. IF I CANNOT WIN THEN, IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE WAY THAT I CAN WIN ON NOVEMBER 30TH, FOR THE SIMPLE REASON MY DATE OF BIRTH IS 11/26/1962. IT WOULD BE SUCH A GREAT PRESENT NOT JUST FOR MY BIRTHDAY BUT ALSO AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT TO. I THEN CAN FINALLY PAY OFF ALL OF MY BILLS & FINALLY BE DEPT FREE. I HAVE BEEN IN DEPT SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR. I CANNOT EVEN FIND A JOB HERE IN ORANGE COUNTY NY. THAT IS THE WHOLE REASON I AMM NOT WORKING. IT HURTS ME SO MUCH JUST LIVING ON $200.00 DOLLARS AMONTH IN FOODSTAMPS. I NEED SOME KIND OF GREEN IN MY POCKET. MY BOYFRIEND DOES HAVE IT, EVERYTIME HE HAS TO PAY SOMETHING OF MINE THEN I HAVE WHAT YOU CALL, EAT IT EVERYDAY WHEN HE DRINKS. SO PLEASE PCH PRIZE PATROLERS, CAN YOU ALL MAKE A CHANGING DAY IN MY LIFE!. IT WOULD MAKE ME SO HAPPY. THANKYOU ALL, FROM YOUR BIG FAN & FRIEND marilynhadey28

I having been entering PCH off and on for about 29 years but for the last 5 years i have been faithful to PCH. I got hurt on my job in 1999 and i have had major surgery a few times and now i’m disable and can’t work. I haven’t worked in over 7 years. My daughter graduated in May and started college in August of this year. YES!! PCH I would love to be your winner on October 30, 2011 are November 30 2011. I want for my daughter to be able to continue college,
my mom to be able to enjoy her golden years w/o worrying about her bills, take care of my family and friends, give to a couple of charity and most important pick a few family I don’t know and help the out financially.

(36) sofia says:

FIrst of all, for the people who are asking PCh search for winning, and telling your sad stories, go to your local churches
and start praying. My story is 100 times more sad than yours, and you people think PCh BS, cares about any any of you.
You people should be on medication. Sure I think some people get paid, because their is ways for them to make payments thru bonds and insurances, etc. However it’s all buisness profit. I get about 10 emails a day, and nothing.
and still don’t believe nothing will come out of it.
However I laugh every time I read all their promises and keeping every email for record purposes. I think it’s basically like any other predator/ Pch preys on the poor-weak-lazy-old-and injured-folks. And for it’s called an abuse. emotional-mental- abuse!!!!! and people Talk to God. and don’t buy anything!!!

(37) MH says:

I have been playing PCH for almost eleven years now and still haven’t won I have just gotten things I don’t need hey they have made money off of me and I’m beginning to belive this is a joke and the people that due win are people that are made up winners for the T.V.

November 6, 2011 at 12:49 pm
(38) Melvin Luster says:

Everyday I receive e-mails from PCH saying I need to respond and register before a deadline. I do every time and just wanted know am I a registered contestant? This could really change my life that’s why I’m asking.

I knew a nurse who actually won the $10 mil from PCH,he was presented with a check at work in front of witnesses and the cash came through,I thought PCH was bogus until then;now I go through all of the tedious entry stuff, don’t buy anything, if I win yippee, it’s all about chance!

(43) Realist says:

I hate to say it but it seems like elderly ppl win the $5000 a week for life because they figure they won’t have to pay them for to long.

November 30, 2011 at 5:14 pm
(44) Another Realist says:

As much as PCH says they’re on the up & up… more and more the “contest” seems to be rigged. Every SuperPrize winner has been over the age of 60… never has a younger winner won. Yet… younger winners will always win the smaller prizes. Please explain that, PCH! The laws of probability and percentages cannot even begin to quantify a logical answer. I remember a few years back… an older (elderly) gentleman won a $10M SuperPrize.. and on air on NBC stated that he hadn’t replied to PCH mailing in years… yet he still won! How is that possible?

November 29, 2011 at 12:57 pm
(45) sandy says:

I have been entering for years. I think the first time was in like 1993 or so. now i enter almost daily for the last 4 years. I am so pathetic that I cry the day after the prize date. I am worried that a few months ago I won a $5.00 amazon card. cant afford to use it cause shipping. I work 40 hours a week as does my husband and I cant tell you what all we been through. homeless, eating beans for weeks straight, loss of 24 yr old child. Other than getting to go to heaven. seeing them at my door tomorrow, would be the best thing in the world. I know so many of us are so tired of being sick and tired. The ones that dont need it usually win. I make 500 a year to much for assistance of any kind. cost of groceries and gas up 40-47%. My pay will never go up. Working class poor….. God what I’d give, what I would be able to do not only for myself but family, grown kids, kids still at home. Maybe I should stop entering; face the fact that Only the rich get richer and the poor and quote “middle class” that should be called working poor, go on in their personal hell, wondering will the car be repoed today? Will I get the Eviction letter today? How do I fix the heat? Its 30 at night… How will I get the kids medicine? How will I remain some symblance of sanity?

To whomever wins; may they show Gods love to others and remember to be grateful everyday you have and when the stranger on the road looks all “beneath you” remember you could be talking to an angel, you could be that person if things were different.

If I won I would want to open a cafe’ call it B’s Breakfast and Burgers Home of the Golden Rule. know the Golden rule get a free dessert

I have read all the emails from the contest entrants and I can feel for them. I have been entering since MAR 1972 AND haven’t won so much as the price of a postage stamp. But I keep entering b ut for how long is a good question. I would probably have a better chance playing the state lottery.

December 1, 2011 at 9:28 pm
(50) Diana says:

I enter every time I get a letter. I don’t necessarily purchase. My motto is….”if it’s the Lord’s will….it will be done.” Others might want to hold onto that one as well….it makes dissapointment a little easier to handle. :)

December 2, 2011 at 6:31 am
(51) Sandra Grauschopf, Guide to Contests says:

Diana, you don’t need to purchase to win. Also, there are a lot of other sweepstakes that you can enter as well, and many offer better odds of winning. So keep entering PCH, but you might want to check out the cash sweepstakes list as well.

December 2, 2011 at 4:18 am
(52) Sandra Grauschopf, Guide to Contests says:

To Another Realist, this is simply untrue. I interviewed Superprize winner Natalie Bostelman myself, and she is far under 60. I’m sure that a quick review of PCH winners would find even more winners under the age of 60.

December 2, 2011 at 3:12 pm
(53) John says:

who is the youngest person to receive the 5000 per week? Come on lets be honest they are never going to give that one to anyone in their 20s or 30s.

December 5, 2011 at 8:49 am
(54) Jeff King says:

Most people know how annuity’s work for the most part. Is it any wonder why PCH almost always “chooses” an elderly person…

IT SURE WOULD BE A BLESSET HONOR IF IT REALLY IS ME THAT THE PRIZROLERS WILL BE LOOKING FOR ON FEBUARY 29TH, 2011. IT ALS WOULD BE A BLESSET HONOR IF POSSIBLY I COULD BE THE WINNER BEFORE THE END OF 2011. THIS ALL SURE WOULD HELP ME RIGHT NOW, I WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP MY BOYFRIEND REALLY FIX UP OUR DOUBLE WIDE TRAILER & WE THEN COULD GO OUT & BUY BRAND NEW FURNITURE TO REPLACE THE OLD. YOU KNOW THAT SAYING, BRING IN THE NEW, TO REPLACE THE OLD. MAYBE I AM NOT SO DOWN AFTERALL. I WAS FEELING A LITTLE DOWN THIS CHRISTMAS FOR I HAVE NO JOB, MONEY FOR THIS HOLIDAY SEASON. I THINK THAT THINKS ARE LOOKING UP FOR ME. WELL, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL & TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT. HO,HO,HO, EVERYONE

IT SURE WOULD BE A BLESSET HONOR IF I AM THE PERSON THE PCH PRIZE PATROL WILL BE LOOKING FOR ON THE 29TH, 2012 OF FEBRUARY. LIKE I HAD MENTIONED MY ADDRESS IS 16 FAY LANE BX 6001 MIDDLETOWN NY 10940. I SURE WILL ALSO MAKE SURE THAT I AM HOME AT THE TIME & I SURE WILL BE READY FOR THAT CAMERA FOR JEFF. I WOULD BE SO EXTREMELY HAPPY IF I COULD MEET DANIELLE LAM, NATALIE B., DAVE SAYER, TODD SLOANE, & ESPECIALLY MRS. DEBORAH HOLLAND THEIR EXCUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT. THIS ALL SURE WOULD CHANCE MY LIFE& IT ALSO WOULD HELP ME PAY ALL OF MY BILLS & TO BETTER MY CREDIT ESPECIALLY WITH MY CREDIT CARDS. HAPPY NEW & HAPPY TUESDAY TO EVERYONE.

(59) maria says:

Here’s the bottom line. For all the needy people on here that really wants to win this. Best wishes and good luck. Somehow God is going to provide your needs whether you win this or not. At least you have hope and not giving up on faith.
For those who are fed up and think it’s bogus?! That’s good for us who still have hope. Less to compete with.

I have played for the last 5 years. I havent won, but just the “DREAM” of winning makes it fun. You peolple are all to serious have fun with it and God will give you your plan. Remember your basically playing the lotto.

(61) Lisa says:

I doubt that PCH will ever email any winners because if they did it wouldn’t be a surprise!!!! Stop sending your personal info to emails asking for this info because remember…..PCH has all this info already if you truly are a winner!

January 30, 2012 at 3:37 am
(67) MRS C says:

My only concern is if I’m chosen the winner FOR REAL (any year) how the heck am I to tell the difference BETWEEN the bombarding emails and postal mailings that come from fakers pretending to be the REAL PCH and the ACTUAL, legitimate notification? HOW DO YOU REAL PCH PEOPLE NOTIFY THE TRUE WINNER? I need to know so I don’t delete a TRUE notification email or throw away a TRUE postal mailing or certified letter at my front door that may look fake but isn’t. I mean, these fakers go through a lot to look like the real thing! Which leads me to ask, how hard do you people TRY TO BE SURE the WINNER is NOTIFIED PROPERLY and EXTENSIVELY before you give up on them, when they don’t respond) and give their prize away? With all the fakers out there, 1 or 2 tries to locate the winner isn’t enough! I know one thing, YOU PEOPLE HAD BETTER BE THOROUGH when you come lookin’ for me or I will sue your AS??? off ! I’m positive I’m not the only one who thinks entering is becoming way more trouble than it’s worth, especially ONLINE where the liars get ahold of our entry info and pester and harass us for months! You people really need to do something about the fakers that use your PCH seals, official headings, signature names, etc. And you’d better do it FAST bcuz it’s really starting to make you guys look unprofessional, like shysters out to make a buck using the entry as a scam with no winner ever being real, but actors who’re paid to pretend to be on TV! And you, Ms. Deborah Holland, employee-of-the-month, what the heck else are you going to say but what you’ve said to defend your job (if you want to keep it, that is). You can’t be trusted either! So, you might as well save your breath! Nobody’s buyin’!

January 30, 2012 at 1:48 pm
(68) red says:

PCH is real guys. Writing letters of dire need is not going to sway them. I think every person who enters including me are in dire need of money. The economy is bad, but the sweepstakes is a game of chance just like the lottery. The lottery does not choose winners based on need. If it did, only poor and disabled people would win. It does not discriminate based on class. I have seen people on their last dime win and people who have money win. It makes me personally happy when people who are about to lose everything, who are unemployed, who are working three jobs, or who are disabled win and not have to be stressed out anymore. One PCH winner was able to save their home. It could not have come at a better time. Just keep entering and keep playing the lottery and the powerball (within your financial means) and you never know what fate will deal.

I just entered the 1,000,000,000 dollar for life contest. I scrathed a ticket off and won 5,000 dollars and the scratched the bingo ticket and won 50.00 dollars will i recieve this money or is this a hoax.

Hey I just recieved am email to sign up for the 1830 sweepstakes. hahahahahahha you already have a designated winner for that one I read it yesterday. I believe it was a lady from AZ. If you want the majority of people to believe this is real, send real facts. I keep tellling myself, I will not put out any money for any commercial you guys sponcer until I see something convincing. Every letter I recieve says the letters RF are definetly going to win. Do you ever think we do research on this. OF COURSE not one RF has won according to your website.

(76) Lisa Nilsen says:

I find it amazing so many of you are posting comments saying the contest is bogus, they said the winner was this and that…don’t ANY of you know HOW TO READ? You have to read the entire thing, word for word…they NEVER say “the winner IS someone in your area with your initials…they say, “the winner COULD BE someone in your area” or “if your number is chosen, the winner will be someone with the initials…:” read it all the way through, not just the catch words, like any other intelligent person would do!
As for sending anything back that you claim you did not order, I have gotten things from them, they send an INVOICE with it, that has an address on it for your payment to go to…if you didn’t order it, SEND IT BACK TO THAT ADDRESS! Is this really that hard???

(77) jay says:

I think that what pch do is great for the simple fact who else do you know gives out money for free and they do say that its 1 in like a billion chance that you would win it also says that you would have to enter a million times to even be considered so stressing how long you’ve been entering, telling about you life,or leaving beligerent comments won’t make your chances of winning any greater as for any other sweepstakes and futher more you shouldn’t be fully dependent on anything if its not guranteed that you are going to be the only person to win. So be nice and grateful that you’re living because you might not need or want what you’re so greatly asking for. So keep up the great work pch!!!!

(82) Karen Nicholson says:

For many months, I have received e-mails to register and I have on many many occasions. I have received e-mails that my state and my initials have won. I have had calls on three different occasions that I have won and had to send a registration fee on an insurance fee and I have wasted over $1000 doing these things and have never won anything. There are several things I could do with winnings. I am a widow and I struggle financially. I have grandchildren I would like to send to college and I would like to be debt free. There is supposed to be winners announced today and I have heard nothing. Also, the e-mails now say register for the April drawings. That is what happened in December. I heard nothing and the e-mails began to talk about a February drawing. I am beginning to think that PCH is nothing more than a scam. Please provide data to show that I am wrong. I am sending information to the Secretary of State where I have paid several hundred dollars for winnings that never came. Needles to say, I am very frustrated. I have spent literally hours responding to e-mails with no results.

February 29, 2012 at 3:55 pm
(83) Karen Nicholson says:

I have responded several times to e-mails and confirmed entries, I have made purchases, I have paid fees to people who have called and said I was a winner and then received nothing. I have received e-mails that said that my city and state has a winner with my initials but have never received anything. I am beginning to think that PCH is a scam. In Dec.
the e-mails began to say register for Feb and now the e-mails say to register for April. I am a widow and have grandchildren to send to college and struggle financially and certainly could use the prizes you say you have to give. Please provide information to prove that I am wrong about a scam. I have sent information to the Secretary of State about monies I have sent to individuals for fees and insurance.

Heres the deal with PCH.. They send the emails out for you to visit their website the more web traffic they get to the there website the more money they get from their sponsors.. Google,Kellogs,Progressive,Amazon basically anyone that has videos on the website is a sponsor. So yes it is a scam and it always will be.

Karen-stop sending money to lottery or PCH scams. Some of them are posing as PCH and askig for money to receive funds. Anyone who has asked you to give them money to receive a prize is a hoax. Don’t give them a dime more.

March 1, 2012 at 2:21 pm
(88) cj says:

PCH’s only crime is wording their correspondence a way to confuse the ignorant. Guess what, that isn’t a crime. It is your fault you enter into a contract with these people without first reading the terms, or better yet the odds(worse than both major lotteries pit together). They tell you upfront you don’t have to purchase anything. If you’re mad because someone didn’t make you an overnight millionaire let me give you a sad truth. You probably would end up with more problems than you had when you began.

March 3, 2012 at 7:30 pm
(89) Suzy says:

I’ve been entering for years & also ordering their “junk”! It’s misleading when they know they have a winner & then they keep sending you emails right up to the end of the sweepstakes deadline. It’s also misleading when they keep on saying the person with your initials will win. I have never won & no one in my area with the same initials has ever won!

How do you Know that you are a true winner, when they call you on Phone and say that you are winner of $1,000,000 and you have to pay $1113.66 for insurance and taxes. I fell for it and sent them $5oo.00 Dollars. they have been calling me since Febuary. It was really my husband that won, but he is in the oor a nursering home for life.

My aunt played this for 20 years she said and never won. I started to play but have noticed that all of the winners i have looked up are over 30… I think this whole game is rigged…. I mean if you think about it why wouldnt they want to give the 5,000.00 a week for life to an elderly person? Then they only have so many years before they die?? So there is no way i have been entering every day and wont win anything the odds are not right with that one. I have done the math and it doesnt add up.. So that is the only way i can figure this out. My aunt keeps telling me to stop wasting my time ill never win.. I mean twenty years of entering and never winning… That is crazy..

A lot of Complaints against Publishers Clearing House. Yes they do give $$. A man in Denton, TX won several years ago – for real! Now I have not won anything but do participate. Sometimes buy something If I need and want.
- No Cost to enter. No Purchase Required. – In other words – it is FREE to Enter.
- The same type Give away as lotteries – AND no one is Complaining about those>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> – well, some do complain. But the Lotteries do Require A Purchase….
-= So Pick Your ‘Poison’ –
— As for Begging PCH to pick you – don’t bother – All Drawn kind of like lotteries.

I have entered many times and I never receive nothing but a bunch of emails telling me to enter. Seems that mostly only the elderly win. I haven’t heard of many young people winning the sweepstakes. We don’t get in this for nothing. I am 40 and my kids have never been anywhere outside the city cause I can’t afford to. Looking for a easy way out maybe but then again who isn’t?

I got one too and its pretty bad but I still go to work everyday while I wait for my blessing that only God can provide. Not pch. I would advise you do the same. Nothing changes IF NOTHING CHANGES.

How many times do they expect you to enter the same sweepstakes, you think you have a chance and keep getting more mail and emails saying you have to do more to enter to win, it’s never ending. I get emails saying my chances to win will be withdrawn unless they hear from me, they have several times already, is this a farce sweepstakes, they say you don’t have to order , but keep asking you to.

(114) Valerie says:

I too was sent that email I was a winner and that someone would contact me and nothing happened. I read most of these comments and it’s all the same. I never order anything because it says specifically that ordering doesn’t help your chances to win. So many people have lost their jobs or are handicapped and on a limited income and are hoping, some praying, some crossng their fingers and toes and still don’t get picked. I’m a little disappointed because of PCH leading me on thinking I’m the winner and well, I suppose I worked myself up to thinking that I was the winner. But I knew that when no one came to house yesterday with the balloons and the big check and the champagne that I didn’t win. Very, very, very disappointed but also figured it wouldn’t be me at the same time. But there’s always that dream that I will win. So, I have to keep my hopes up. That’s about all…….I’ll still fill out the entries on line and I’ll still keep praying and crossing my fingers that I’ll be the next winner. I’m thinking? I’ll have a better chance at winning the lottery! LOLOL!! Thanks for letting me vent! Aloha from MD!!

PCH is a complete scam. we read all of the complaints that people had on pch. We used to participate with pch for quite a while and haven’t won a cent. Got nothing but promises on being a definite winner. Now when we receive anything from pch in the mail, we don’t even bother to open – in the shredder it goes. I advise all of you to do the same. Pch should be # 1 the on BBB list.

NO WINININGS NOT EVEN A DOLLAR!!! So take my advice & stop wasting your time like I did & start thinking about a good hubbies instead! The truth is PCH will continue to fool us & never make us a millionaires…..Waiting for yourself to win at PCH is like waiting for sun to be a moon! PCH doesn’t have any funds to give away…. PCH gets paid by their advertising sponsors! How? it depends on how many people they can fool to enter their sweepstake, the more people entered the more money they get….& WHERE IS THAT MONEY? you might asked…..well, the PCH people needs to get paid too you know? So what that leaves us NADA, NOTHING you know wats next…..

Plus I on the search n win I use that more then I use google or any searching site and still no prize or anything. Really everybody has a better chance doing a scratch off.

does anyone ever look at the odds of winning a superprize?
when the odds are 1 in a billion and a half or in the millions, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out your real odds of winning are very very slim… it does not mean that the contest is a scam because you did not win.
how many lotteries have any of you ever won? but i bet you all have bought at least one lottery ticket throughout the years and never won that either…was the lottery a scam because you were not chosen as the winner?

Your not winning doesn’t make it a scam. The odds of winning are one in billions. Your not winning is normal. You have to be extraordinarily lucky to win.

Well I looked her up on Facebook and it appears that she works for you guys as a goodwill ambassador. Wow what frauds and I didnt think I could win anything from you all anyway but I will never respond to your emails again.

I have been playing for quite a while. Nothing, I mean no winnings yet. Not even a dime. I have spent quite a bit in stamps, and time trying to win at least to get something. Not only that, it seems that most of the winners are located on the West Coast. I don’t believe that I am imagining things. Correct me if I am wrong. I congratulate all the winners of PCH. I am sure most of the winners had needed to win. God Bless! Thanks

September 10, 2012 at 6:42 am
(135) Rev. Kaelene Lord says:

I have read so many of the comments of those speaking their mind about The Publishers Clearing House contest. This is a real contest, and unfortunately, where there are individuals, seeing their salvation from the hardships that they are facing, you will find many deceptive individuals who sell their soul to the devil every day, Unfortunately for those without the aid of a computer in the home,it’s more difficult. How easy for you, would it be, to take a walk, to the local library? Once there, you simply have to enter into the computer, http://WWW.PCH.com. You may not know how to get an EMAIL address, but I am sure that the librarian, or the Librarians aid, will be willing to get you to the point that you feel like a pro at emailing.
Now onto the ONES that try to deceive you. SHAME ON THEM! What they are doing is not away from God’s sight, and they’ll be answering for that at Judgement day. DO NOT BE DECEIVED! If you win, YOU will be the FIRST ones to know it, from that knock on the door. If no one knocks, and you’ve received some kind of notice that you have won a million dollars, contact PCH and go to the ‘Contact us’ address found at the bottom of any page on the site. They are real nice people there, and if you leave your phone number, they may contact you. I say ‘may’, because I had a little problem at their gaming site, and THEY called me, for that. You’re possible deception is a mighty large problem , and like I said, THEY called me, and that makes me think they’ll call you.
Now at this time, I have to say that I am not employed by PCH, I receive no salary from them. I am disabled, like many of you out there, I do enter their contests, just like you. But some may be wondering, WHY AM I STEPPING INTO THIS CONVERSATION? The answer to that is very simple- I do not like seeing people being deceived by someone who does not serve the same God as I and you do. God Bless.

(137) Rev. Kaelene Lord says:

This is going to be a miracle that NO ONE here will believe. But I wrote a bit a few days ago about the publishers clearing house contest. Right now they are having a search and win contest which uses the search engine at PCH.com. Well todays date is September 12th. and I wrote the piece about PCH two days ago. Last night I went onto the websight, and entered something onto the search engine. Then the screen went blank. Then about 30 bue, red ,orange,and green balloons filled my screen. Then there was a simulation of a crowd in blue. They were applauding and saying congratulations. Then the screen went back to the PCH search screen. I remembered writing that piece for all of you about checking if this was a scam. I called the 1-800 operator, got the phone number for PCH and dialed it. First I spoke to the Scam division, they transferred me to Customer Service Dept. They in turn, sent my call to the computer input area…. And GOD BE BLESSED….. It was for REAL! I TRULY HAD WON!. I don’t know how much yet, bt the woman said that it was between $10- $1000, maybe more.
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!… I know that there may be doubt about this, so I give permission to the editor of this CONTEST section, to contact me by E-MAIL. And they will be able to verify what I am saying.
God bless you all. Keep entering the contest, be wary of scams, and never be afraid to dream. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!

I don’t have an doubt that there are winners. We hav to know that there are to much perons trying to win. Some pesons are lucky, others like me, no. I have had buying products to PCH and I don’t have any complaints.Is true with the offers think They know Who will be the next winner, but they do not obly to any body to buy.I wii continue buying and making a monthly payment. The only thing I’m asking, why they are speaking of November winner, If the don’know the October winner. Well that’s their problem . If I want to mplay, I play and if I want to buy I buy. If one day I’m lucky, thanks God. If I never get lucky, thanks God too.

May the Lord bless each and everyone of you who are struggling or who is in need of a miracle. Remember to put your trust in the Lord and believe in Him.

(157) JNW says:

Read the fine print. They always say something like “you could be the winner” or “this could be you” or “you could receive this message for real if your number is chosen”. The emails and mailings are meant to keep people interested in the game… If you read things thoroughly you will not think you received a false positive.

Happy for her, just wished I could be a winner too. Have been playing every year since the 80′s!!

(159) Jessica says:

Why do people insist on telling about their problems. Newsflash: Nearly everyone in this country is going through the same situations. Another Newsflash: The sweepstakes are completely random, they aren’t going to pick you because of your sob story. Just be thankful for what you have and stop being so sad about something that may or may not be. I’ve been playing for years and will continue to. Some of you sound so pathetic….read through your mail and the sweepstakes rules before you go bashing pch! And this is coming from a single mother and student who doesn’t have much not some snob!

Maybe they talk about there promblem’s, Cause im sure they might an anwser that will help them. common Sense. Just depends on maybe how mature we are, Or how we might choose to look at things. Why don’t the world stop hating, an be uncondtional loving people, like alot of are. This is what i say, stop judging others you or no one has that write. NO ONE IS BETTER THEN NO ONE. IN THE END, UNCONDITIOAL LOVE IS GOING TO WIN. WE WERE BORN TO HATE, BORN WITH UNCONDTIONAL LOVE IN ARE HEART’S. GET WITH …………. FIX YOUR FLAWS WITHIN YOUR SELF TO BE A BETTER PERSON.

Wow what a great story.. I really hope I can share an amazing story like yours I just lost my job on Xmas I’m a CNA I just bought my first brand new car and I can’t even pay my payments my dad had to pay it this month i feel so bad and actually today I start my new job waitressing again and I’m soo nervous because I haven’t waitressed in 5 years . I have medical bills up the buttocks and I’m about to be 24 and I’m still living at home with my parents broke as a joke negative 25 dollars in the bank and after today ill ask n get a set schedule so I can try and find another job at nighttime because I have my license and I have too many bills to pay I’m going to crash and I’m such a beautiful girl to be stressed the way that I am stressed…

(164) JAY MAINER says:

Well i’ll never see any winnings from PCH even if I am on disablity and plus I have a 13 year old daughter that has seizures and they’re getting worse each year. If I was to win from PCH I would use the money to get her medical help for them medications help but don’t stop the seizures not only that my daughter was abuse mentally and physically as well and i’m a single dad just is just making it money is always tight . But it would be a wonder if I ever win anything.

January 31, 2013 at 4:49 pm
(165) Alex says:

I play PCH every day. I order products, and I never complain. The chance itself to be presented with such an opportunity is awesome. Gives me something to dream about. When PCH finally picks me, I think I could be a great brand promoter for PCH just by being me – stuff like doing interviews about my win. I’m 28, live by Chicago, I’m very smart, loyal, and a dreamer. I would be the greatest surprise face to date. When Karen cashed her check, I’m sure one million was enough for her. Not me, I would be going live in this about.com article, giving statements about the power of hope. Hundred bucks for interview here and there on top of the million. I would take a portion of winnings and invest back into the company that insured my happiness. I can survive for days on hope alone ;) Anyway, Prize Patrol, I know you scan your fans. There is a great florist on Skokie Blvd: “please, please, please let me get what I want this time. Lord knows it’ll be the first time.”

I HAVE BEEN PLAYING THE PCH SINCE 2001 I CHANGED MY EMAIL ADDRESS AND NOW THEY THINK I HAVE ONLY BEEN WITH THEM FOR 2 YEARS WELL IN THE 2 YEARS I HAVE PLAYED EVERY NIGHT DONE MY SEARCH’S AND I HAVE WON $ 250.00 BUT FOR ALL OF THIS TIME AND 3 COMPUTERS I JUST DON’T THINK IT IS WORTH IT ALL .THEY CAN BRING YOU UP AND LET YOU DOWN VERY HARD .THEY ALSO SAY THAT THIS PERSON WON ON HER FIRST SEARCH WELL HOW IN THE HELL DID SHE DO THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN TIMED JUST RIGHT. THIS IS MY LAST YEARS AFTER THE 28TH OF THIS MONTH IF I CAN’T WIN SOMETHING MORE THAN $250.00 ITS THE END OF THE LINE FOR ME.I KNOW WHAT SOME OF YOU ARE THINKING YES I DID WIN SOMETHING BUT I HAVE WASTED ALOT OF TIME JUST PLAYING THE GAMES.I HOPE FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT KEEP CHASING THIS DREAM IT COME’S THROUGH FOR YOU GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

February 27, 2013 at 10:47 am
(170) Brenda says:

Everyone should be thankful that an opportunity like this gets to be apart of all the peoples lives out there, because if it wasn’t for them than the lucky people out there that did win wouldn’t be where their at now and you guys that are complaining about not winning and knowing the odds of you being the winner would have to find something better to do with your time than just sit on the computer and complain. Be thankful and patient, luck eventually reaches us all in some form.

Its people like the idiots on this forum that is whats wrong with this world! Your all a bunch of illiterate, self- entitled whiners that think you are more deserving than the next person! Im sure we all have a sob story we could pull out of our ass, but the fact of the matter is there will always be someone worse off than you! Also if you READ the emails they tell you its an ENTRY to win- NOT that you have already won. IF you are lucky enough to win you will know!
