I got the same email however while playing my usual time consuming games last night, a window popped up that said congratulations to 'me' of 'my city, state', as the vip sweepstakes $10,000 winner. I took a pic of the screen and showed my wife. I was skeptical, but thought that my years of racking up tokens and never winning finally paid off.
When I received the email I was livid. I would rather have not gotten the apology email and just thought that I missed the usual disclaimer somewhere. But I studied the picture I took of my screen last night and was hoping.
After this incident, I am DONE..DONE..DONE..with PCH
ok, that's possible but nice how they lie by saying this "The announcement including your name was sent only to you, and not to anyone else." You and @cyurkovich03 have confirmed getting this exact apology. But I'm not done using them since I went in assuming I'd never see anything although I did get a 10 buck check once and two digital amazon cards for $10 each which did give me credit to my amazon account.
But of course the odds are horrible to win anything significant. Then again so is Power Ball and that costs money with the odd something someone getting hit by lightning while on a plane that then crashes and you are the only survivor. :)
