Our History
Publishers Clearing House was founded in 1953 by Harold and LuEsther Mertz and their daughter, Joyce Mertz-Gilmore and in 1967, PCH added the sweepstakes. In 1989, the famous Prize Patrol began surprising winners on their doorsteps with a dozen roses, champagne and of course, the “Big Check”. Then in 1999, we brought our presence online, launching our flagship site, pch.com, and providing our players with so many new and exciting ways to win.
Continually evolving, and as of July 2025 under new ownership, today PCH is 100% focused on being a truly dynamic platform where players come to enjoy our free-to-play, chance-to-win games and experiences across a network of web and app-based entertainment properties. With the perfect combination of fun and anticipation of winning real prizes, PCH continues to engage and reward players across the country.
