Founded in 1953 by Harold and LuEsther Mertz and their daughter, Joyce Mertz-Gilmore, Publishers Clearing House is the largest multi-magazine subscription agency in the magazine industry and is a respected leader in the direct marketing field.
The name "Publishers Clearing House" is almost synonymous with the sweepstakes which the company has used since 1967 to draw attention to the discounted magazine deals and product offers that fill its colorful mailings.
Since its inception, the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes -- personified on TV by the Prize Patrol -- has made winners out of people just like you all over the United States and Canada -- dozens of them are now Millionares! But whether they win a prize of $1,000 or $10,000,000, after many entries or on the first try, with or without an order, all of these winners recognize: "Real people really win at Publishers Clearing House."
