Never heard of anyone winning. Been going on probably 50 years or more.

Yup, it has. I figure they probably have one winner every 5 years or so. The probability of actually knowing someone who won is probably really small.

I just wonder where all of that gift money comes from! Can't be real and I don't intend to bite.

I get so many magazine subscriptions for free (women's magazines like GH, LHJ), I can't imagine anyone paying for one. And the magazines have gotten so much smaller over the years. Most of the articles are just lists and pictures of things you should buy.

Isn't that the commercial where they come to the door with flowers and a big cardboard check? I always wondered who actually won those things

Actually there was a lady who just won last week here. The story was on the news and in the paper. She lives in an apartment and they came to surprise her. She wasn’t home so the landlord told them where to find her. She was at work and they got her outside for the presentation. I understand she’s had medical issues so there’s bills to pay. Her church is in a building project and she said she wants to help there. Almost $5 million before taxes. It was said she’s entered often through the years.

Well, that winner certainly was blessed. How often do they do this drawing, yearly? If so, they must have a huge number of sbscribers to generate that kind of prize $$$$. I used to get mailings from them, but not for several years now......may look it up and get a subscription or two.....

You don't have to buy a subscription to enter. You can go online to PCH.com and enter the drawings. But be prepared for numerous emails wanting you to buy something. You don't have to buy anything to enter.

I am seeing a new ad for the big money prizes. In the end of the ad, on the bottom it says the contest ends '4/24'. That means if you enter now you will find out if you win in April of 2024.
