Publisher's Clearing House (PCH) is a direct marketing company known for its sweepstakes and prize giveaways. Founded in 1953, it offers consumers the chance to win cash prizes, including its famous multi-million dollar jackpots, by entering contests through mail, online, or via mobile apps. PCH also sells magazines and other products, but its primary focus is on promoting its sweepstakes. Participants can enter for free, and winners are often surprised with in-person visits from the PCH Prize Patrol, who deliver checks and celebrate their wins.
