Generally, the same complaints as everyone else. I click on entry form, then have to go through ten million screens of merchandise ads, which are themselves annoylingly broken up by pop ups reading something like " Wont you please change your mind?" (because I have not made a purchase). Yes, I know PCH has to sell stuff to make money to keep giving away money, but why keep up the same speel about no purchase being necessary to win, while ALL THE WHILE making it next to IMPOSSSIBLE to enter the sweepstakes itself without having to wade through a million pages of ads? Why not a page with just an entry form that gets processed immediately? Like the others here, I often just get stuck no matter how many times I push the "enter now" button.

I have the same question/complaint September 16, 2022. Green "processing" bar starts over and over. I gave up after 15 minutes. I really, really wanted to win.

In complete agreement with the previous posts, I haven`t won anything but tokens in over two years of playing the PCH sweepstakes.

I can't even enter the PCH Lotto, the "Submit" tab never appears no matter how long I wait while the ads I don't want just keep popping up all over. Who can or will do something about this? PCH are u listening? Since starting to play the other games, my daily inbox of junk has jumped from 30 to over 200 a day, and I resent it. Most don't allow me to unsubscribe even if I take the time to try each one, which I shouldn't have to do. This is unsolicited harassment!

I cannot count how many emails I've received informing me my entry isn't complete ... and how many times I've jumped through their electronic hoops to be told again and again that it now is compete. What this is is COMPLETE BS -- a total scam, but I'm sure buried somewhere in the fine print is some tiny clause that says entries are not complete until PCH says they are. Kinda like Clinton -- "depends on what you mean by [insert word]". So, I keep "searching", but this time I keep searching "PCH SWEEPSTAKES FRAUD" ... which is how I found this page, which is, interestingly, covered in PCH Sweepstakes ads!

I find this interesting. I even called the 1-800 number shown if having a problem submitting the entry. I was told I needed to update my browser. Well, guess what. Internet Explorer and Microsoft keep me updated automatically. So, I'm in total agreement with all of you. This is evidently not as advertised. If it's legitimate there should all these people wouldn't be having the same problem. The last one I got was a joke. I had been selected for the "elite seal". JOKE!

I have to agree because I am not getting anywhere either. No winnings. I think the PCH Lotto is no good because the instant scratch off is fixed because I never won a dime. I don't know why they call it "instant" in the first place. What a joke! I am unemployed and I thought it would be nice to win something for a change until I can get a job. I have had no luck. The PCH needs to be shut down and stop harassing people on fixed income. I get an email from PCH that I am close to getting a prize and the prize patrol has my address. I am like we'll see how it goes. How do people win? I am seeing the streaming banners showing people winning some cash and other prizes by the PCH Search and Win but I have struggled to find something using their search and win that will help my chances but I think it is a trick. It is unfair when people are trying to find jobs and get scammed at the same time.

even in there mailings they are BS, they run you so long and willfully leave out the stamps to complete your entry form. also the junk they want you to buy is junk, crap, and so out of date that nobody wants or needs, can do

better at the dollar store.

same here..., If you do not take the time to erase your personal information from all of their promotions, you end up with a steady stream of unwanted emails. You have to access each web site and unsubscribe from each of these sites, if you are able to access them. Your cell phone will ring constantly. You will have recruiters from schools and colleges calling your cell phone. Endless game and trivia text messages on your cell phone, wanting you to subscribe to them. I don't know about you, but my phone plan has a limit of how many minutes I can use before I'm charged for them. Not to mention the scams if you actually submit to any of these promotions that they offer. I hope this was helpful, because I had to learn the hard way...
