PCH Surveys do not give a person to…

PCH Surveys do not give a person to correct id they make an error- offing number of takens and not delivering. after completing many surveys my phone was hit by 25-50 scam phone calls. PCH offers false hopes, increases spam emails and phone calls, is very inconvenient.

Total waste of time!

Almost 12 years of playing, almost 3 billion (worthless) tokens accumulated, and not a single win.

They claim that it's where America plays to win, ha!

Don't waste your time. You spend 98% of your time making them money by being forced to watch their commercials.

Cheated out of tokens

On December 2023, I wrote a review about how taking PCH surveys weren’t paying up on promised tokens. I completed multiple surveys then with 4,000,000 tokens promised but not given. Now, PCH has a “Answer & Win” window ad pop up promising 500,000 tokens. I have had 27 of those pop ups that didn’t award the promised 500,000 tokens. PCH now owes me 17,500,000 tokens but they are ignoring my emails. PCH will cheat you out of promised tokens.

This company is a brutal scammer

This company is a brutal scammer. So much empty promises of winnings, but in fact they are only asking you for money. When they are satisfied and you don't have any money left they just disappeaer from Messenger.

Very frustrated

I have been playing for years and have amassed over 200 millions tokens, I live on social security and can't afford to buy things on line nor do I wish to waste my time on surveys. PCH says their is a winner every 10 seconds and yet I haven't even won $1. Then they want you to look at CNN,WNBC, ETC to see if you won any prizes. I don't watch those shows and I shouldn't have to search to see if I won. They have all my personnel information. They can send e-mail stating that I won a prize followed by a time frame when prize would be delivered to my house. I am on their site 4-5 hours every day and now I'm starting to think it is a scam just to get people to order things on line. The other problem I have is they say you can only enter one time but yet they keep sending e-mails containing the same links. stop with 20-30 e-mails. By now they know I don't do surveys not do I purchased anything from their vendors so they should decease sending e-mails containing same. I'm going to give them another month then I will end this deceptive web site

Publisher's Clearing House Has Unethical Practices

Problem with PCH is they're unethical. They advertise to anyone they think is living a disadvantage life. They advertise to minorities, elderly, poor white people, any race that's poor, any person in bad health with possibly high medical bills. They strategically profile people to market to that crowd false money dreams. They tell a story for each winner, but have any of their taxes been reviewed as proof that they were paid by PCH? Show a check any day on TV, but has it been cashed? Where are these winners? Winners disappear after they step out of the PCH spotlight. No business adventures to talk about. No interviews outside of PCH's sight. It's like the winners are running from the spotlight of investigation, because winning it's possibly fake within an inner lottery circle. PCH post winners, but where are their number sequences? Pch doesn't think the player has a right to their own number sequences, and our number sequences were removed, nor do they think we have a right to see the winners number sequences, so there's no true accountability nor validation that the winner won. Their out here operating unethically, and showing up with smiles on their faces to possibly cherry picked winners houses. I've entered millions of tokens into grand prizes and I've never won anything at a VIP Elite Level. Reaching a higher level isn't rewarded like it says and the majority haven't seen any VIP Elite awards, so it's all a play on words to market the idea that you can win. The truth is PCH takes advantage of us and with all of our clicks we pay their salary, but they won't even assist us with proper technical support, so technical support is a scam. If you zoom in to any of the PCH sweepstakes you will see number sequences all over the page, and it's almost looks like they've been cheating for a while out in the open. Entries are supposed to be free, but they don't process, so how do they have winners? Technical support doesn't fix cycling entries on time, so how do they ethically have winners? Emails seem to be double spamming to get more clicks. Emails open to pages not supposed by Https, so hackers can possibly hack into your computer stealing entry opportunities when the computer is hacked. PCH is aware of bugs and claim no accountability to it nor do they take accountability for lottery fraud that steal the lottery from you, so is that why they send people down the rabbit hole of sites not protected by Https?. They really do want to pay up these wins! I don't care how long you have been around you owe the public accountability, and they should be able to get put out of business just as quick as they started that business for unethical acts. Oversight entities need to regulate PCH and make sure that PCH user's complaints are reviewed and investigated. Everyone with issues with PCH need to head over to the Federal Trade Commission and write a complaint up on them. There needs to be a record established of bad acts, so PCH can be investigated and sued for not 18 million dollars or Doing It Again, But Now In A Sneaky Wordy Way. They need to be sued for a Billion Getting You're B*tt Aired Out. Not reporting PCH only allows other's coming along the way to get taken advantage of. Their stealing that lottery out there by not posting the winner number sequences and removing to hide player number sequences. They did it for the rent PowerPrize, Mega Multiplier, Emoji, VIP Elite Platinum, Pick 5, Pick 6. The Bingo game is missing. Who won the Luxury RV? They really did a S*nt* Cl*use steal over the holidays in 2023. I think one of us finally hit the lottery and those cheating a******* removed the games along with the players number sequences, so players couldn't verify their numbers against the winning numbers sequences. When you talk to customer service about anything concerning games they stay scripted like they're a bot. They give that unprofessional feel like BohBoh with missing teeth and a missing brain is running customer service. Their all dumb up there with their brain stuffed up their S*nt* Cl*use cheating a** Or else they're all cheating and playing stupid. Customer Service doesn't want to help you and technical support is a fail. There products are overpriced, and expensive and not worth buying when another big useless entity like Wal-Fart is out here. In the real lottery we pay for a lottery ticket and we have a ticket to show for it, but in PCH lottery entries are free and they come back to snatch your entry, so in turn you don't even have proof that you played. So no argument of of win case closed. Now which one is better free or paid tickets? PCH need to be investigated. More people have complaints about PCH they just don't know where to post them. PCH will hide comments on social media sites to keep their image looking good. Report them to the Federal Trade Commission.

I enjoy the PCH.Com Sweeps

I enjoy the PCH.Com Sweeps, Instant Win and Scratchoffs. I have won Token leader board once. I have also won many smaller prizes, and get checks here and there for $10-$20. I like to play the Lotto game, but not the Lotto App version. I will play the Lotto App when that 12-3PM $100 game is close to the deadline. The Lotto App has too many very long ads for games. It is very annoying. I also do the mail in entry method. I find that if I mail it in everyday, on a nice 3 x 5 card, with my preprinted name and address label, PCH would always change my Customer ID number and still get my name wrong. I avoid doing any mail in except if it's one of their mailings. And absolutely no surveys or quizzes.

PCH Surveys are a MASSIVE waste of customer's time!

I just completed a PCH Survey all the way through which took about 25 minutes. I have done many of these PCH Surveys, enough to qualify for higher "influencer rewards." At the very end (there were literally no more questions to answer) the message appeared "Unfortunately you do not qualify for this survey." Well if I was not qualified for the survey, why the hell did I go through qualifying questions in the beginning, then was taken to the survey (on a partner site.) Then answer numerous questions for 25 minutes? I did not receive my rewards such as extra entries, points, NOT Anything!
I won't be wasting any more time doing surveys on PCH! Hopefully this gives other people hesitation too, lest they waste their time also.

Never giving up

I love doing my entry in hopes one day I will win. I will never give up. People if
someone calls you stating you win, it’s a scam (duh!). They have been saying this for years now that they will not call you. They will just show up and (surprise you!) with big check (actual check), wine, balloon, and flowers.

My only issue is Pch lotto- sometimes the music plays forever and don’t change to the game. And Pch quiz- is not line up properly when using mt phone and will not adjust, so sometimes I don’t play it because I cannot see one of the answer nor read the questions.

14 Years .. and STILL WAITING...

I wonder why there are no reviews from actual winners. Why doesn't a PCH winner ever post a review. It makes me somewhat skeptical. I know it is near IMPOSSIBLE to ever win anything with PCH, but I am still trying. I guess it's because I am still 'hopeful.' I have ordered soooo many products thru them throughout the years, and have yet to win anything .. except for receiving a 10 dollar check for my birthday. And I have NEVER won anything thru the millions of tokens I have acquired. I feel like 'giving up' sometimes, but like many, I dream of a better life. I am tired of living on my limited Social Security income.

PCH / SCAM ALERT

After inquiring about my winnings, Danielle the officer over the New York branch office winnings informed me that yes i had won $1,000,000.00. But before I could receive my winnings i first would have to pay the IMF tax, even though that should of been able to be paid at the end of the Fiscal year when reporting my taxes. So I wanted to inform the public that PCH is nothing but a scam and I wish they would be placed under investigation for running a fraudulent lottery. Skeptical as I was about this phishing scheme now I know PCH only grants people with money prizes. I was a winner until proven broke. That is oppression over the impoverished, in an attempt to thwart me of my rights. I believe.
