You must be my age if you associate Ed McMahon with PCH...just for Fun

I posted something about a scam phone call dh and I received and it led me to look up Publisher's Clearing House. I found this article and something interesting that I did not know. I bet many of you don't either! 

Funny what we think we know. I would have sworn Ed McMahon was in those commercials that came to people's doors with that big check!

How ironic! Those Ed McMahon commercials for a competing company actually helped Publishers' Clearinghouse. How many companies wish that could happen to them?

I have no idea what your age is but I associate Ed McMahon with Johnny Carson.  Heeeeere's Johnny!

Talking about PCH.....how many of you enter when they send you an envelope in the mail? You do not have to buy anything to enter ...just send back the order form according to the info given. 

 

I always enter! Have for years.  I plan to seen them on my doorstep telling me I won $5000 a day for life! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

I may be wrong, but don't they ask you to order magazines?  If you don't order any, my guess is that your entry goes in the trash can!

@fortune No, by law you can enter buying nothing.  Most sweepstakes are run that way.

You're right about it being the law, but who's around their mailroom to monitor this???  Just my opinion, though!
