How Long Have You Been “Playing” Publishers Clearing House?

Have you been working hard toward reaching a goal? Does it feel like it’s been taking a long time? We all have dreams and goals, but the only way we’ll see them through to the end is if we stick with them for as long as it takes. The important thing is that you never give up and always keep your eye on the prize!

This attitude really comes in handy when it comes to “playing” Publishers Clearing House (that is, entering our sweepstakes)!  I think back to recent winner Jane Bjork, who had been entering Publishers Clearing House since 1977. What’s funny is that even though Jane had been entering for years, there were times when she felt that she was never going to win. But she kept on entering, hoping that some day her luck would change. And it did!

What’s important is that we don’t get overwhelmed with the scope of the task and that we keep focused on the end prize. If all Jane Bjork thought about was how often she entered, she might have been tempted to give up! She says, “Just keep doing it and hope for the best! Just have faith that somewhere, some day…it’ll work out! That’s what I did!”

How long have you been playing Publishers Clearing House — for as long as Jane, or just for a little while? The winner selection at Publishers Clearing House is completely random, so everyone has an equal chance of winning, no matter how long they’ve been entering! Just look at recent winner Desiree Scudder! She’s young enough to want to build a video game room with her $1 Million prize!

So don’t forget, consistency is key! You want to make the most of every possible winning opportunity that PCH sends your way! The famous comedian Jerry Seinfeld is well known in self-motivation circles for what they call the “Seinfeld Method.” When he was just starting out, Jerry would get a calendar and put an “X” on every day that he wrote a good joke. His goal was to put an “X” on as many consecutive days as possible. He would start to see “chains” of X’s, and that would give him the motivation to make sure he kept the daily productivity streak going!

Are you able to keep your entry routine a daily one? Whether you’re able to enter each and every day or only when you get the chance, we want to know how long you’ve been entering for! Please make a point of going to the comment section below and telling us how long you’ve been playing Publishers Clearing House. And remember, you never know if your PCH luck will change!

  1. I have been playing PCH for 40 years. I don”t remember exactly how I got started but I have never stopped dreaming that some day I might win. Here I am 40 years later and still living in hope. I have turned many friends on to PCH . Can you tell me all the ways to participate? it seems I have been missing out on other ways to participate. Still living in Hope and not wanting to die in despair. Although it looks likely I will at 89 years old!!! My friends are saying “I told You SO”!!

  2. To the judges judging PCH giveaway 17000 My name is David M I played hard I want to win this bad day I hope to see you Sunday my record shows I’m in it to win it see you soon drive safe .

  3. I have purchased things fro PCH for 50 years, first in my husband’s name and when we moved to TN I put it in my name and I never win anything. It’s strange I see lots of people win but never anyone I know or not even myself.

    1. Hi Joan, thank you so very much for your loyalty. PCH values all of our fans and their incredible support. Keep in mind that while millions of entries are received, only one person can win each giveaway. However, every entry has the same fair chance of winning so I encourage you to keep trying. Winners are all randomly selected; there’s no way to know who we’re going to award next. There are multiple ways to enter each day and there are many exciting giveaways to enter into. You can see them all here: http://bit.ly/Enter-A-PCH-Sweeps. Good luck to you and all who enter!!

  4. I began playing in late 1958 when I married and dwe started subscribing to some magazines…almost 64 years ago!!
    I have gone through the cutting and gluing onto the entry forms. I have also bought a lot of items from PCH.
    For years I have wondered why such large prizes. I dread of $7,000 a week, why not a month. Than you can give more prizes to.more people. We are on a fixed income and our rent goes up every year. We could use a boost of as little as $1,000 a week. Would really make a big difference in our lives.

  5. I started 2002 on and off, but then consistently everyday a few years maybe 3 years now. I spend at least 8-12 hours a day on the App and the computer same time just entering hoping one day I will win $7000 a week/ Million. I read through the terms and now understand you have to enter consistently to get in it to win! Fingers crossed that day will come!

  6. Been playing on and off since I was 18 now I’m 48 I’m ready for a big win lol I’ll keep playing and keep hoping 🙏 maybe one day it will happen
