SWEEPSTAKES CHECKS DRY UP!

Publishers Clearing House goes bankrupt & dashes dreams of winners.

- 

PUBLISHERS Clearing House (PCH) — the marketing giant known for its feel-good sweepstakes commercials showing unsuspecting Americans getting happily ambushed at home with celebratory balloons and oversized prop checks — is getting bashed for stiffing prize winners.

The famous magazine subscription peddler declared bankruptcy earlier this year, leaving the recipients of its supposedly “forever” sweepstakes awards furious and wondering what happened to the so-called dream the company pitched on TV.

Nearly a dozen past winners have yet to receive their yearly checks, and one legal expert tells The National ENQUIRER that their financial dream is now a real-life bait-and-switch nightmare.
