How are PCH Digital winners selected?
At PCH Digital our winner selection process is completely random and unbiased. All of our Giveaways and the handling of Prize numbers are governed by our Official Rules and under the Supervision of the PCH Digital Board of Judges.
There are two methods we use:
Matching Winning Number - Winning Prize numbers are selected at random. PCH Digital does not know the winning number until giveaway end. Throughout the life of the sweepstakes, PCH Digital assigns Prize numbers to outgoing Bulletins. Any one of the numbers assigned to you while the giveaway is going on could be the winning number.
Random Drawings - A two-step process is used for random drawings. Incoming entries are prequalified either manually, by specially trained contest personnel, or electronically using a computer. Then, on drawing day, all qualified entries are sequentially numbered and a computer program is used to randomly pick the winner. We have no way of determining, in advance, who our winners may be or where they may come from.
