Why Does PCH Take A “Special Early Look?”

If you’re a PCH fan, you’ve probably noticed that many of our promotions are “Special Early Look” Events – like our $15,000,000 Summer Prize Event  that is happening RIGHT NOW!  That’s great news for our fans who really want to win. Because more special early look events throughout the year mean even more winners, and even more dreams coming true! The truth is, we have so many “Special Early Look”  events because we just love awarding prizes here at PCH.

Here at PCH, We Don’t Want To Wait To Award Prizes!

You see, our ongoing BIG giveaways, like our current Giveaway No. 8800, are initially set up with a start date and end date. But we love awarding prizes so much, sometimes we just don’t want to wait! By incorporating “Special Early Look”  events into our ongoing giveaways, we end up with many more big winners that we would have had otherwise, which makes us very, very happy!

This is how it works: During Special Early Look timeframes, each entry submitted by the deadline has its assigned Prize Number validated. All Prize Numbers assigned during that timeframe are eligible for the “Special Early Look” Event. Once a winning number is randomly selected from the Winning Number Generator, our Sweepstakes Administration department takes a “Special Early Look” to see if there’s a matching winning number among all the timely returned entries. If there is, that lucky entrant wins the top prize for the event.

If there is no match to the winning number, the primary prize amount is not awarded, as stated in the Official Rules. However, we often plan for a second chance drawing to award an alternate prize amount. (That’s one thing you won’t find with the state lotteries! When they have no match to the winning number, they just have no winner!) That’s one of the things that makes Publishers Clearing House so unique!

Just for the record, even though we can’t win, PCH employees love “Special Early Look” Events, too! It’s such a thrill to work for a company that changes lives. Whenever a big prize is about to be awarded, there is always a palpable feeling of anticipation here at PCH headquarters. Many of us are watching the “Winning Moment” on the PCH Fan page on Facebook, just like so many of you! More “Special Early Look” Events mean that we get to do that more often!

Don’t Miss Out! Enter As Often As You Can!

Now that you know why PCH so often takes a “Special Early Look” for a winner, I want to urge you to take advantage of our “Special Early Look” events by entering as often as possible. Enter from every email you receive as well as at our sites, PCH.com, PCHSearch&Win  and others! It only takes a few minutes, and it could really change your life forever.

All the best,

  1. I’m still hoping and praying for a miracle in the movie Mosses. The lord gave Mosses a lot, that people kept him and our lord from not believing till he came back from that mountain then there he took everyone. Be surprised and said these are the commandments for which we shall all that live on earth shall abide by, Amen. An amen.

  2. I always put entries in via the PCH app and have been receiving emails to put in and entry, but I read you should only put in one entry per day. My question is: are my entries from the PCH app and the emails I get voided? This is not clear to me, please explain! You encourage many entries everyday. Why I know Profit. Please answer Question.

  3. A lot of scammers acting like Danielle been using her for scamming. Making her look wrong. They gave me a serial number and a ticket number and some other number to react on given them money. Please get back at me asap.
