– Where does the money for Publishers Clearing House giveaways come from?

865 views

I remember seeing old commercials on TV where a van would pull up to somebody’s house…usually somebody old…and Ed McMahon would pop out with a bunch of balloons and an oversized check for the latest “lucky winner”.

Recently I recalled these commercials and then went on to see that they still do this stuff, albeit in online form.

“WIN MONEY FOR LIFE!” with a free entry…yeah, okay, I might consider entering if I wasn’t already set for life thanks to a chance encounter with a Nigerian Prince recently.

But really, what is the story with this thing? Scam? Something else?

The magazine company pays for the contest prize out of the magazine subscriptions sold by the mailing.
