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 since the seventies by mail and now spend at least 8hrs a day playing, because I believe I’ll be a winner someday! Not complaining but it takes Dedication and work. I have a lot health problems and spend a lot of time at Doctors appointments!
    I love to see you make people’s dreams come true! It’ great, Thank you!

  2. I’m pretty sure it’s been 3 years, I get laughed at by family and friends but, I’m hoping with all the time I put in that I will be able to show them that it’s worth it.

  3. I’ve been playing PCH for over thirty years, and my thoughts are that black people do not have a chance to win, although I am still playing and hoping to win.

    1. Hi Willie! The lucky individuals who have won are in many ways reflective of the wide diversity of those who enter the PCH sweepstakes: entrants from varied ethnicities, regional backgrounds, age, etc. That’s because our winner selection process is random and unbiased. You can check out our winners here – http://www.pch.com/winners. Check out this FAQ for all the ways to enter for the chance to become our next big winner: https://bit.ly/Enter-A-PCH-Sweeps!

  6. I have been entering daily for 41 years! I began at age 18 and that was when we had to rip out the stamps and put them in the correct places and then mail it back. Now I enter on my laptop first thing in the morning. I am really hopeful. I could help so many people.

  8. Miss JANE BJOK took 45 YEARS TO GET A SUPER WIN. THINK 45 YEARS WOULD HAVE BEEN NICER 45 YEARS AGO. LET GO, LET GOD, SHE LOOKS LIKE MONEY AIN’T WHAT SHE NEEDED. LOOK AT HER PLACE IF ONLY PEOPLE HEAR YOU WHEN THEY SPEAK, WORLD WOULD BE MUCH BETTER PLACE. BY THE WAY I HAVE PLAYED THIS 33 YEARS. I SAY 31 BECAUSE FRIST TWO YEARS WAS OFF AND ON THE REST WAS PERSISTENT.
