    Yes small prizes especially,
    Though I did once have a pc, printer, scanner etc turn up out the blue with no covering letter or to be signed for, after much searching tracked it down to a NISA fpd,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Yes I love it when things just turn up out of the blue. Although I don't like it when you have no idea where it came from as I always like to contact comp organisers and thank them for my wins :o
