Got an e-mail from Publisher's Clearing House that I am the newest winner in their Token Exchange sweepstakes billed as "$750 Towards a Top of the Line Laptop" (though the prize is actually a $750 check.) The sweepstakes is only open to those at "Black Diamond" status, which was why I entered - better odds. I'm supposed to be hearing from them within the 3-4 weeks to claim the prize.
 
Nice! I'm trying to get my token count up so I can start putting some towards those exclusive prizes. I've entered just a bit in some of the lower status just for the heck of it, but I'm almost wondering if I should've saved the tokens.

How many entries did you put in, if you don't mind me asking?

I certainly don't mind you asking, the only thing is, I'm not sure I can really tell you. There doesn't seem to be any way to easily check and I haven't been keeping count. I can you this, though - my current all time standing in tokens is 216,815,725 and of those I've redeemed 141,488,500, leaving a total of 75,327,225. However, I certainly did not redeem all 140-odd million on this particular sweepstakes. If I had to estimate, I'd say I had anywhere from 5000-7500 entries in this particular sweeps, or about 20-30 million tokens. Yeah, I too entered a fair few of some of the lower ones for the heck of it. Perhaps not the best idea, though I suppose it didn't hurt me in the end, eh?
 
How were you contacted? And if by email how did you distinguish it wasn't one of the gazillion advertising emails they send?

Good question. They do send a lot of e-mails, don't they? I was contacted by e-mail, yes. I always try to at least glance at all of my e-mails in case something like this comes. The e-mail's subject line said simply "You've Won, [Name]!" and the e-mail itself has the logo for the "Token Exchange" right at the top and says very clearly, "Way to Go! You're a winner" and continues below that saying "Congratulations, [Name]! You've won the $750.00 Prize in our PCHRewards Token Exchange." If anyone wants, I'd be happy to provide a picture of what the winning e-mail looks like.
 
Got an e-mail from UPS that I have a package from Publisher's Clearing House tomorrow. Can't imagine that this is going to be my check - I'm thinking it's probably paperwork that I have to sign. But I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning.
 
Thanks everyone! Well, I got the UPS envelope in and, as expected, it's a form I have to fill out. I also have to get it notarized and then I send it back to them and I can get my prize. So I'm planning to go get that done today if at all possible.
 
I have been using my tokens for the explorer thought I was doing well with my grand total of 2 mill tokens til I saw some of yall had close to a trillion kind of let the air out of my balloon haha
 
Hey, keep going with whatever you can that you're comfortable with - you never know. I've seen people win on this stuff with a single entry, so sometimes that's all it times.
