    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 post

    Actual delivery would be a very nice pushchair that made a great gift for someone.

    Best email was a late night email to inform of a trip to NY.Five days at the Westin plus $1K to spend in SAKS.

    What as been the largest and/or the most expensive prize that as beendelivered unexpectedly at your door?

    gosh, had quite a few over the years :eek:
    hard to chose which one but think the first laptop I won
    with no notification/p/work etc was one of the most expensive/unexpected ones I've won as it was one of the top recommended lappys on sale at the time :D

    Just remembered another one, a Hotpoint washing machine.Lady from Hotpoint rang to arrange delivery.Never found out where I won it from.Lady who rang didn't know either,she just said her instructions were to deliver washing machine,no charge.

    My very first comp win was an unexpected Xbox and to this day I don't know where it came from, but needless to say it had me hooked!
