If you live near LA and win an LA experience-related prize you might be able to decline just the hotel/flight portions of it and have the ARV of those aspects subtracted. I've heard of some sponsors agreeing to do that for people before.
But if someone does win the full year's worth hopefully Charmin fixes code if needed or just sends the product... lest that person becomes "The Toilet Paper Guy/Gal" at their local shopping plaza. 😅🤣

They aren't scams, but the odds are very long. I'd guess longer than the lottery (tho PCH is free to play). My father and grandfather entered for decades (through the mail) and never won anything from them. I've done so for about a decade and won $20 thus far (but hope springs eternal, haha)...
To my understanding, you can keep entering for the grand prize but can only win 1 instant prize for the sweeps. I ended up scoring a "Movie Night Kit" in this one with a $70 ARV... tho I have no idea what that entails exactly, so kinda excited to find out what it's all about later.
