    My biggest most unexpected win was a 32" Sony Bravia Smart TV, I had only won one exactly the same a few months before so I was thinking the promoter had made a mistake and sent it again, but there was nothing at all in the box to say who it was from, I was too scared to open the box for about six months just incase they wanted it back! We finally opened the box just before Christmas and its a fantastic addition to our bedroom now :)
