The sweeps suits just keep on coming: Seventeen states filed suit against Publishers Clearing House on Jan. 25, the same day the magazine sweepstaker was expected to settle a private class-action suit in Chicago. State AGs worried that the settlement might preclude future lawsuits.
The flurry came just five days before PCH’s Prize Patrol began its annual Super Bowl Smunday drive. The 17 states join nine (Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin) with ongoing suits. The newcomers: California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, and West Virginia.
