    Most unexpected wins tend to be DVD's/Toys

    Had a £100 cheque turn up unannounced from the TV Buzz Mag Wordsearch last year which is my biggest surprise win.
  • a PS3 with games. No note. Still no idea where it came from! LOL.

    I also had a "Cookie" real life like Puppy turn up. Barking - the delivery man said he had been worried that someone had sent an actual dog via courier. It was wimpering and winging in his van all day.

  • I was a bit unfortunate with mine - had a call from post office sorting office
    Open package and wrappings with my name and address on found stuffed under some shelfing

    Went in and it was empty pandora boxes 3 of them in a biggish parcel

    No idea who from - and have never found out what it was from googling - post office were unable to process a claim without proof of what it was

    Shame really - had a few mysteriously opened parcels for a while around the same time - so think someone must have been a bit light fingered for a while with my parcels - had a few bits go missing - some diet food, shampoo i'd won etc..

    Luckily - nothing like that has happened again since that little spate.
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!

    Unexpected wins have been a £500 Goody bag from Closer, a £350 watch and a coat from Debenhams.
    It is so exciting when a parcel turns up. Sometimes I get really excited and then remember I have actually ordered something :D
