Rio ball...?

I received an email from Kellogg's this morning saying that a ball has been dispatched to me. For the life of me, I don't know how!!
I specifically remember not entering the comps for them as I have zero use for ten balls, and a quick check on the boards shows that no runner up prizes were on offer for a single ball anyway. I don't eat Kellogg's cereals and I've not been to their web site either, so I'm a bit puzzled.
Has anyone else had this email and can you figure out what you might have entered?

Perhaps it was a runner up prize for a competition you entered where you would have liked to win the main prize, but it was hidden away in the small print about the runner up prizes.0

I guess so, Marg. Maybe it will come with a note that explains all.

Parcelforce postman woke us up at 7:30 this morning hammering on the door with a massive box! Through my tiredness I was a little excited as I hadn't ordered anything to be coming in that size box!! It must be surprise win! Eeek!
Cue me ripping it open, wading through the "air cushion" things that pad it out, to find a flat box containing a set of 10 "Rioballs" which are just basically like little beanbags! I kind of thought it was footballs I was applying for!! Maybe my kids can learn to juggle with them?!
Anyway just to clarify, my email did say "Rioball" singular but it was definitely a full set.0 -
Thank you smoker99. I did not receive an email to say I had won but I received a box of the Rio balls this morning. It was a Tesco Clubcard competition.0
