Hello Everyone! I hope You are having a Blessed and Prosperous day!

I can never come to a solid conclusion about Publisher's Clearing House and Here is why. I have searched before and I am now pulling up Search data, with the inquiry is Publisher's Clearing House a Scam? I will share a little bit of this information and then give you some information that appears to contradict it.

At first appearance the information, from these links seems to support Publisher's Clearing House as a Legitimate Sweepstakes Entity. Please take a few minutes to follow, some of these links and scan the infol

All these links seem to support PCH as Legitimate. I don't find any links that would support evidence to contradict these links. So Far, So Good, right?! The Problem, for my perception lies with the numbers. The inconsistency in the number become apparent in the following links.

I will stop there, to keep from overloading you with info. I could not find the links today, but very recently I saw links that stated PCH has given out over 40 million over the last four decades! The numbers just don't add up to me. If You are interested in this subject, please look over this information, do your own searches, and let my know what You Think!

I am Puzzled and Curious.

Thank You for Your time, interest, and attention!
