Do you enter the pch sweepstakes or order products from pch? I do both. I have ordered magazines, Towels, peanuts, etc.

I've entered, but won nothing.  Just get a lot of junk mail.

My grandma was a great believer in PCH and fully expected them to knock on her door. She was forever ordering things through them, never won a penny. She died in 2015 and a few weeks after her death, she received a $10 winnings check from PCH. It was a tough time, but I must admit, that gave me a much needed laugh and a few tears afterword.

I know several people who have gotten small checks from them, so I do know it's semi-legit.

I have seen this for years but I really don't know anything about it. I have always wonder if those people really do win that money. ???

I used to participate in every contest they had from way back in the '70s until the '90s. Never won a thing. I used to order magazines from them 'till I found out the magazines would be cheaper direct from the company.

I did a couple of them in the last 2 years but I've stopped again because there's too many hoops you have to jump through and I'm tired of it. I did order a couple products through them in the past year but no more. Still waiting for that "big" win.  If you notice the TV ads, they never show the amount of the checks and those checks could be $500 to $10,000. Only once did I ever see a $100,000 winner in an ad.

I have entered their sweepstakes but have stopped doing that because I became inundated with so many emails after that!

I fall for it every now and then and I come to my senses when I see how much more junk mail it generates.

There are probably a minimal number of people who win, kind of like the lottery. You need to spend all your money that you should not spend in order to stake money in a scheme that collects gabillions of dollars from millions of people and gives back a modicum of it to a few of them for your pleasure in participating. :bunny:

I would suppose I'm not their biggest fan.  :P

I lost interest a few years ago. I don't know whether people got small checks or not, but it just wasn't worth all the junk mail and the spam. When I stopped focusing on PCH and started focusing on survey sites (like this one) that had guaranteed income.
