One of my family's friends was SO sure that she was going to win the PCH (by the language of the letters), that she ended up spending over $7,000 on magazines. At the time, no one realized that she was at the onset of Alzheimer's Disease.

Thankfully, PCH settled out of court, and they got their money back.

I will NEVER participate in any of their scams!!

Has anyone under retirement age ever won? I mean how great would it be to see the Prize Patrol rolling up to someone's dorm!

a family in the town where i grew up won $1 million about 20 years ago. they were really poor before, but they went out and bought a huge house and decorated it with millions of watts of light-up christmas decorations every year. at least for the 5 years or so it took them to blow through all the money.
