About us
For more than 30 years we have administered sweepstakes and prize promotions on behalf of participating sponsors — in the same American prize-promotion tradition as Publishers Clearing House, Reader’s Digest, and other well-known consumer promotions.
Who we are
American Cash Awards is an independent claims and promotion administrator. We are not Publishers Clearing House or Reader’s Digest. We work in the same category of consumer sweepstakes those companies helped make familiar: no-purchase-necessary prize promotions, official rules, and a verified path from winner notification to fulfillment.
On behalf of participating sponsors, we connect people who receive an official winner letter with the prize tied to their claim code. Albert Johnson’s claims team confirms identity and prize details. No purchase is necessary, and no fee is required at any step.
Our record
To date we have awarded more than $350 million in prizes across more than 185,000 individual awards. More than 14 million people have participated in promotions we administer. That file continues to grow by about 45,000 new participants each month.
How we operate
Winners for monthly drawings are chosen through our Advanced Random Selection System, described on the How you won page. Official rules for each promotion govern eligibility, drawing dates, and claim deadlines. Void where prohibited.
