PCH to Win or Not Win you decide

Southern Californians do not be fooled that PCH stands for Pacific Coast Highway...the following is only my take & experience on playing at PCH


I have been playing PCH Games for nearly a year, at least 2-3 hours every day or more...

all I have won are Tokens, the following as of 28 Mar 2014, I earned



and since I have not even won as much as $5-$1000 or $1000 - $10000 cash prizes.

and only 3 months and 20 days later 17 Jul 2014, I earned a total of 501,350 more tokens

I was well on my way, to what I had no idea, only that in 10 months and 12 days, 9 Feb 2015  WOW 15 Million plus tokens



Some Games or Scratch Off are $1 Million, all while playing for the $5000 weekly for Life Prize...which equals $260,000 a year.  

Sweepstakes offer Win $25,000 Go-Green Home Enhancements, $20K Cash Break, $30K Big City Vacation, $75K Dream Kitchen Makeover, Win A Ford F150 valued at $52,450, Win $25K, $40K, $50K, $100K Cash to the Rescue, V.I.P. $40K Sporting Experience, $10K A 5 Star Ski Trip, $50 African Safari, $100K Home Improvement, Win $250K a Year for Live Never Work Again!
 


As it stands I need Money, if I was able to work I would already be working....so how about let me Win $30-50K a year for Life ?
 


Oh after Winning or Earning 15 Million+ Tokens, you can Redeem by entering 150-500 tokens for a chance to win Gift Cards $50 at McDonald's, iTunes, Cash, WalMart, Dunkin Donuts, Domino's no longer Pizza, Target,  or an iPod Shuffle, Microwave Oven, or for more tokens...No StarBucks


...501-1000 Tokens category Gift Cards are $150, enter 750, 900 or 1000 just for one chance to win, $75 Amazon Gift Card or Kohls $100.  


The 1001 and Up Tokens, enter 3500 tokens for one chance to win a $650 Big Screen TV, 3000 tokens for a chance at an Apple iPad Air 16GB, $500 Gift Card to WalMart, $500 cash Gift Card or a Camera 2000-3500 tokens, $250 Gift Card to Cabela's
 


All of these Redeem Tokens for, have End date/times i.e. So Many Days and Hours or take a crack at a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3' Tablet 10.1" becoming the winner in a matter of minutes or hours.
   However , you may want to watch this video by CNET about the Samsung Galaxy, not worth the effort in my opinion


The reason someone would be playing is they have No Money, wish to Win to help with Medical Needs or Home Improvements or to be able to win and afford to buy a home or vehicle....otherwise they could afford to go shopping, and if they are online playing from their own computer, they may not need a Tablet...I notice there were no SmartPhone Offers, with a Known Cellular Provider as AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile...nor Win a Computer


...but then those playing, may already have a SmartPhone or playing PCH from their SmartPhone.
 


Play for hours, and hope to win a Hamilton Beach Wave crusher blender, Keurig "K65 Special Edition" Brewing System, or Apple TV
 


I have earned iver 15,364,162 Tokens, having Redeemed 14,804,150, and have not one even won a $50 Gift Card, Camera or TV
 


And while you play these Games...PCH is collecting stats on how you play, training their computers to play against you...hoping you to Buy a Subscription to magazines with 50% or 80% off, of course you have to play to receive this offer.
 
 

And you may receive several e-mails daily to PCHSearch&Win (powered by Google & Yahoo Search Engines), which you earn more Tokens, now PCH knows what interests you, as does Google & Yahoo.

Do not be fooled by "Search Now" New Instant Prizes are awarded every day...only encouragement you can win, keep playing....how many others are you playing against, how many others vying for a Win too.
 


Now enters strategy by Volume, Numbers increase your odds perhaps...so why not get the Family involved with Fast Internet and several computers, of course you have to be of age, different rules may apply for each different game


PCH site will inundate you with so much to read, drawing your attention possibly to other offers
 


And there is Fine Print 


from Item #1 - Every entrant must be a legal resident of the United States, and at least 18 years of age or older. 


from Item #2  "Publishers Clearing House, its subsidiaries and affiliated companies, licensees, advertising and promotional agencies, printing agents any other sponsors and any other affiliates or agents are not responsible for any problems or technical malfunctions, human error, lost/delayed data transmission, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, line failures of any telephone network, computer on-line systems, servers or providers, computer equipment, software, failure of email or players on account of technical problems or traffic congestion on the Internet or at any website or any combination thereof, including injury or damage to participants or to any other person's computer related to or resulting from participating or downloading materials in the Sweepstakes or from the Site.


So that pretty much protects PCH from You the Player...interesting the part of problems or technical malfunctions, human error can be said of your Service Provider, Computer Manufacturer of the Computer you are using, you the User being Human. 

Make sure you read the fine print, and Item #8 Force Majeure:  The failure to comply with any provision of these Official Rules due to an act of God, hurricane, war, fire, riot, earthquake, terrorism, act of public enemies, actions of governmental authorities outside of the control of either (excepting compliance with applicable codes and regulations) or other force majeure event will not be considered a breach of these Official Rules.

I like the part of an act of God which means what ? and if you are a non-believer...can they prove it was an Act of God ?


Of course Item #1 states you must be a Legal Resident of the United States.  However, the chances of War in America are rare and what is/are other force majeure ? that are not mentioned.
 


What Can I Win?  You could win amazing instant prizes when you search, like cash, gift cards and electronics.  Plus, your first search every day enters  you for a Millionaire-Making PCH SuperPrize!  Keyword is Could: 


And there are Official Rules that differ from one another so read those Official Rules of that Game you are playing as for the Search and Win Sweepstakes (the "Sweepstakes") Item #1: The Sweepstakes is open to residents of the United States who are at least thirteen (13) years old and have an Internet connection. 

 

As for the $5,000 a Week Forever odds are 1 in 1,300,000,000 or 1 Billion 300 Million which the population of the United States is 324,142,504 and climbing as of today 9 Feb 2015.

Trivia About PCH

Publishers Clearing House was founded in 1953 by Harold Mertz to replace door-to-door, single-magazine subscription sales with a single vendor offering multiple subscriptions by mail. It introduced its sweepstakes in 1967. 
In the early 1990s, the company became the subject of concerns and legal actions regarding whether consumers were misled about their odds of winning the sweepstakes and whether purchases increased their chances.
 


The odds of winning a Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes vary depending on the number of entries and what prize or sweepstakes is involved.
 


According to the official rules, the estimated odds of winning the $1 million a year forever are one in 1.3 billion.
 


In 2011, the odds of the big prize were one in 1.75 billion.
 
The odds of winning the $10 million prize were one in 505 million in 2008 and one in 1.5 billion in 1995.
 


Smaller prizes have better odds that may vary from one in 223 to one in 80,000, depending on the prize.

So the odds are in Favor that PCH will have the Advantage...and what a big disappoint to the Player, if they thought they just won Thousands or a Million, only to learn they are Not because of something is considered a breach of PCH's Official Rules.
 


Possibly your Odds are Greater in Las Vegas or Playing your States Lottery in Winning...Enjoy and Good Luck


Playing Tri Peaks Solitaire at one time I was at Level 10, and to Level Up, I had to play 9000 more times...then I went from Level 10 to 0 Zero, and now I am -2974 so when you are a Minus 2974, how does that work to reach the next Level Up ?
