which wins just turn up?

Options
who has won something which has just arrived in the post/ by courier with no email/letter before to tell you?

what website? what items etc?

just curious, my mum had a couple of bits just appear in the post with no previous warning, a mobile, a sony ereader, and other bits.. from magazines, do these tend to just send without prior warning?

    There is a (slightly old) long list of sites here and how they notify (or not)

    I had a win from The Beauty Pages which turned up totally unannounced - it was a shedload of toiletries plus £200 shopping vouchers so that was a fantastic surprise to come home to!


    I also won £250 vouchers from GQ magazine which just arrived in the post with no prior notification.


    Other than that I've had the odd small win turn up unexpectedly, but for most things I've had a WEM or WTC.

    I had a large cheque from Bauer Media turn up without notice :D

    I had received a number of missed calls from an unknown number which I presumed was them, however aside from that I didn't get any notification. I ended up just screaming the house down!

    Would this be a £5k win then??
