I had 3 boxes turn up one day, my OH answered the door and as I was pregnant on maternity and bored assumed I'd been ordering baby things. It was actually a surprise win from heat. Over £500 of electrical hair styling goods. hairdryers, straighteners etc.
Most exciting unexpected win was about 2 weeks ago. My son gets a magazine and id entered the postal comp in it for him and he won. was lovely for him to get a toy in the postYou never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
