So I get my "official" Publisher's Clearing House entry envelope in the mail. It's huge! What on earth is in this thing???
I fully intended on entering but not buying anything. I got about five minutes into reading the instructions and my headache and my cog fog took over. There must have been eight million little stickers that had to be put in exactly the right place in order for the entry to be considered for winning. I finally threw the whole package into the recycling bin. If I'm meant to be a millionaire it's gonna have to happen in an easier way. Does anyone really win these things??

Somebody must win, or 60 Minutes would be all over it.
I wonder if you can enter online?

Good question! I'm gonna check it out!
Edit to add: Yes, you can! http://www.pch.com/ I just entered. You have to skip through a bunch of stuff that's trying to get you to sign up for surveys, etc.

So glad you asked that question.
Using the the theory of 'six degrees of separation' I 'know' the following people Barbra Streisand Kris Kristofferson Princess Diana (rip) Pres Obama Michelle Obama Bush Lieberman oh and Kevin Bacon (but we all do ) just to name a few. Now this isn't a bragging contest by any means, but think about it. Think of all the people you 'know' and who they 'know'. Does anyone 'know' anyone who has ever won anything from PCH??? my vote: scam |

Entering online was going to be my suggestion but you already answered your own question. I stopped dealing with that stuff years ago, my time is too valuable to spend on such things. That includes buying and scratching lottery tickets.
I know wisely invest my time into holding a 30 foot steel pole as high as I can in a thunderstorm looking for that lightening strike. The odds are much better.

I personally know a girl who won $10,000 off of the PCH.com website. Not the million, but it felt like a million to her. She quickly blew it all and invested nothing. It was gone before her signature was dry.
So, thats one. not the big one, but one.

I don't really feel like I'm wasting my time by entering. Somebody wins. If I don't enter I can't win. Now I know the odds are stacked against me but it took all of one minute to enter. I don't think I missed out on too much by using that minute to give myself a chance to win. Do I expect to win? No! But it's fun to think about.
