Why You Can't Win PCH Miillions or the Connecticut Lottery


     First of all, Publishers Clearing House wants you to buy something, anything from the pile of trashy ads enclosed in your “winning” entry form. If you follow the instructions and paste up all the little ads designated to be pasted in certain squares (something any 3rd grader could do), then you feel confident you might win the millions for the rest of your life.
     The odds against the big win are phenomenal. You are more likely to be struck by lightning while standing under a tree in the rain. Or hit by a falling star from the sky. Or crushed by a steam shovel at a construction site. YOU CANNOT WIN THE JACKPOT!
     PCH was indicted some years ago for dumping all its entries in the garbage. They managed to redeem this “error” by promising not to do it again. Ha ha ha. Try telling President Trumpty Dumpty not to tell anymore lies. Go ahead. I dare you. This psychopath just can’t help himself; he manifests lies faster than a humming bird flies. Which rhymes with lies.
     The Connecticut Lottery sells a scratch-off card for $30 that says it is giving you 30 chances to win. Wait a minute. How about 30 chances to lose? I’ve purchased one card a month for the past year and once won $30. Only once. Big deal. I got my money back to buy another card and lose again. But I had 30 chances to lose, not win.
     So, shame on the PCH Lottery and the CT Lottery for their disingenuous  advertising. It barely stays on the line of good faith, sneaking over to the one that spells FRAUD!
