Publishers Clearing House , known for its 'Prize Patrol' sweepstakes, files for bankruptcy.

The company says it's using the bankruptcy process to “finalize a shift away” from its legacy business of direct mail, retail merchandise and magazine subscriptions.

PCH 's roots date back to 1953 , when Harold and LuEsther Mertz formed a business out of their Long Island , New York home to send direct-to-consumer mailings.
