From everything I've read and from their contest letters, I've come to the conclusion that people have won prizes from the PCH contests. Publishers Clearing House is best known for its dramatic sweepstakes, a marketing campaign that offers millions of dollars in prizes every year. SINCE the NUMBERS were PRESELECTED, Publishers Clearing House COULD PROMOTE the sweepstakes truthfully with the words, "YOU MAY ALREADY BE A WINNER!" At first PCH did not feel obligated to award prizes if no winning entry was received, but later a second random drawing came to be held from entries submitted if no one turned in the winning number for the top prize. By late 1991, Publishers Clearing House had DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN $50 million in prizes to more than two million people, including $13 million in fiscal 1991. The Federal Trade Commission's expert on sweepstakes said...Being labeled a "FINALIST," he declared, generally merely meant that the contestant had sent in a previous entry. The FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION'S EXPERT "...also noted that the $10 million prize was not given in a lump sum, but over 30 years, with $2.5 million not paid out until the final year. Million-dollar winners received only $50,000 in the first year. In 1994, PCH agreed to pay $490,000 to 14 states to settle allegations that it used deceptive advertising in its annual sweepstakes. The company agreed to stop using the word "finalist" on most solicitations and to employ the phrase "final round" only in the last weeks of the promotions. By January 1996, PCH had awarded more than $92 million in prizes since instituting its sweepstakes.

I recently entered the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes. This is a company of long standing. I have seen excited winners shown on tv for years, being awarded with roses and a big check. When I entered, I assumed I was dealing with a reputable firm. This was my mistake. Assumption is not wise. I wrote entries for hours each day. I was busy for weeks. I enjoy writing, so I wrote essays in the 43things portion of the sweepstakes. A few weeks ago, I found an announcement on my 43things page, stating I won $10 million dollars. I was very excited, naturally. The sweepstakes was supposed to end on February 28th. The prize patrol would deliver the winnings. My family and friends, who followed this sweepstakes waited at my house with me. I was given a line to say when the prize patrol came. I received a daily email reminder of it. When I got my prize I was supposed to say, "Thank God and members of the PCH sweepstakes team!" These were words I wrote to them when I read I was a winner. I was more than willing to support them in what I thought were humanitarian efforts to help others. The prize patrol didn't come. I wrote a letter to them this morning and asked when I would get my award. I got a blunt, short answer. The awards would be distributed from now until February 28, 2012. I had not won anything. My chances, I was informed, were very small. I was stunned. I had made a mistake. I didn't read the fine print in the rules. It is stated, if you look hard, the sweepstakes ending date is 2012. I wrote back stating my disappointment this morning. I know I am not the only "winner" who is empty handed this morning. The sweepstakes is about making money from sponsors of the Publisher's Clearing House. This is reasonable. However, it is morally correct to mislead the public for profits?
