Pick me up instant wins?

Just wondering has anybody ever actually won instantly on Pick me up competitions. You know the ones where you pick three numbers and if they match, you win.
I've seen on here that somebody has won from one of the prize draws but I was just curious about the instants.

The odds of winning the £5,000 prize are about 2,000,000 to 1
The competitions are very much like these and may be linked in some way

11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.0 -

I won on my very first ever go - 8 boxes of chocolate brazil nuts yummy.
Never won a sausage since.
To be fair I didn't do them for long and on balance I would say it is worth a go.0 -
I entered once and got a phonecall from a modelling agency a few days later saying they had got my details from Pick M Up, even though I ticked the NO box so I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole now. A lot of effort for spam in my opinion.
Needless to say, I cancelled my account.0 -
