I received an email the other day from someone asking about the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes ads we’re always seeing on TV.
Concise and to the point, she asked these two questions:
1 – Are the Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes legit?
2 – If so, where do they get all that money to pay the Sweepstakes winners?
Those are great questions, and truth be told, I used to wonder about that as well so I did some research into how it all works.

And when time permits she also loves teaching and mentoring aspiring musicians of all ages.
