Publisher's Clearing House Odds OF Winning

[fmdog44]

From a garbage mail from PCH today I thought I would publish their odds of winning:
$5,000-A-Week-Forver: 1 in 6,200,00,000 (one in six billion, two hundred million)
$1,000,000: 1 in 3,840,000,000 (one in three billion, eight hundred forty million)
Good luck!

Got one yesterday...right into the trash it goes.

For me the odds are 0 to none! I tried winning it several times and gave up. I still have a bunch of cheap junk I bought.

How do they figure out who is the winner? Nobody "enters" the contest. There's some kind of law that prevents them from choosing only those people, who subscribe to their mags. I know that some of those old McDonalds contests where "won" by the girlfriends of the managers.

What you get when you enter their contest is your name on tons of marketing lists.

I haven't entered the Publishing Clearinghouse Sweepstakes in decades.
A man in a city about an hour away from me won the weekly prize a few months ago. The local news covered it.
If I don't enter, someone else's chances improve. Gambling on the stock market has better odds.
