If you want PCH to update your address, just buy some of the crappy stuff and put your new address in the mailing address when you order it. They will never lose your address after that. I use to get 15 USPS sweesps entry packets per week. Now they have my email and I get over 15 email entries per day!

I got ya beat, I've been entering the PCH contests since 1968. During that time I have moved six times and been constant in my entries and now that I can do it on the computer at least 30 time per week. Two years ago I won a $10.00 gift card so I can't say I never won anything but for the number of entries versus the returns, well it is like flogging a dead horse!

Im just really disappointed cause i enter several times a day and its been 18 years now folks . I enter on a constant bases not a 1 time 2 times a month enterer like some of these big winners have gotten away with and win. Anybody who's entered like me and not be disappointed wouldn't be human. Fig how many winners there's been in the past 18 years I've entered ? 100s of thousands perhaps ". Its not that im lacking in entering its just im not being picked .That's why random pick isn't quiet fair cause people playing for a week could become rich while people like myself who's been loyal for many years gets egg in the face over and over and over. I'm not even winning small cash prizes ? Token redeem rewards I've been putting multi million in coins every time when i redeem tokens PCH im not winning anything. I'm not here to hate on PCH. Im here to maybe get heard get noticed by PCH .. Another huge winner 10-31-20. Congrats .. Im still entering PCH.

I disagree with u guys... its not about how long you have been signed up to the site or just by ordering thing... thats not whats going to make u w. they look for everyday timely enties... so if do a couple of them each day and then stop the other days then dont still expect to be on a winning status. they also look at the number or days altogether... its a certain amount of days they are looking for... if u give up.. dont come talk # about it so everyone can see u havent been trying enough.. I want to win... I need to win. so if it takes me to get up evertime a email come to my phone... I will do it... my messages are nothing like u guys I think I might be doing ok until april 30 for the superprize... those who give up... don't recieve a thing... the choice is up to you guys... and have aliitle bitmore faith and dedication then u have nothing to stop you! god bless you guys!

Listen I've been on top of entering everyday getting pch emails with 10 enteries and i do them all.Also im 4 × a RED DIAMOND VIP. Im a pch app.pch lotto. Pch quizzes. I redeem.millionsin tokens and im not winning anything big or small. 18 years fella . So yes there's people like me who give or do there best everyday. The random pick isn't fair to the people who've proven loyalty to pch for many years. Seems we are forgotten and that's wrong. Ive put in to win even a vehicle so many times to watch someone winning who already has a newer vehicle. Time before last the person won a new vehicle and had a 100k RV parked in there driveway too.. My vehicle is old and rusted ..why cant good people like myself win anything ? Staying positive and 🙏 to win all the time but I'm human i do get disappointed ..✌

Funny, but after a morning of wasting time trying to get the stupid pch.lotto site to work I was again asked to "search". So being sick of these damn searches to enter searched "Pch.lotto website sucks!" And voila! The most fruitful and entertaining search I 've done!

I mailed in a scrach-off coupon/ticket from PCH, because I won $25, 000 dollars. It's been about a week and half and I have not received my check or any response from PCH. Now I know that PCH is a class organization and I just am just looking for answers.

How long do I have to continue with this lottery before you tell me that I have won, or, I have not won. I need a date to get satisfaction or close this forever ongoing you might win this, this and the other - it's so frustrating. I have been a loyal communicator since 2008 and for a year or two before that. Do you bank on the fact that people order all this merchandise and finally give up. You could be a winner or getting a little irritating. Lastly, do you ever pay out any prize money?

To verify I needed to send all my vital personnel information. I'm not stupid. I know a scam when I see it. I just said to myself WTF and deleted it. Don't be cought up in overseas scams.

My problem with the pchlotto is that lately when I play the lotto game, I've only been able to play just two games, after I've played these two the screen goes to something else, and I never get a chance to play the other two, also at times when I check to see if I'm a winner, which I never am, I only get just two or three results, not the 4 that I've played. Just thought I'd let you know. THank you for your time. I would like response if possible at helengoodwin@att.net

From: hvnlyperk@yahoo.com My husband and I are long time customers of PCH. We travel for a living and recently have been scaling back on time away from home, finding this is the only way to enter these contests and get them in on time. This weekend I received an entry with the wrong last name on it! I am NOT ABOUT to order anything for a million dollar superprize in the wrong name! I order thousands of dollars worth of interesting and hard to find products from you all the time! PCH now sends me an entry for Giveaway #1400 and #1480 in the name of Cherie Reese? My name is Cherie Rief! I must say I am really agitated about this, it made my blood pressure just boil! Normally we receive lots of entries, but this is the only one we received in the mail lately, and it doesn't even have my correct Last Name! We have Never, Ever, Won Anything from PCH yet! I have been entering since the nineties! I'm not sure what to do about this entry, as It would probably be disqualified if I were to cross out this incorrect name and insert the correct Last Name of RIEF! I am sending it in, anyway with a note inside to GET IT RIGHT! Please tell us what your doing about this, as this is very upsetting! Thankyou, CHERIE SUE RIEF

I have made numerous attempts to "search and win" and have never recieved any indication from PCH that I've actually been entered on the "search and win" list. This is the only way I have found to contact PCH to make inquiries!
What exactly do I have to do to get recognized on the "search and win" list? floydfan@volcano.net

I thought the 1400 100.000.00 dollars encluded the 1 million not seperatally. I feel ripped off. pch said together 1 million and 100.000.00 together. whats that all about? They should make things more clear and stop making everybody waist there time on promises that never dreams come true. How much longer do I waist my time before i win something or give up? pch...

All I was trying to say was, I have been entering PCHLotto for quite awhile and have never had any trouble with it, but since it has been "IMPROVED"? I have not been able to get more than a pretty picture and ENTER NOW and other things to enter or view. What do I have to do to play PCHLotto again. I never won anything, but I do enjoy trying.
