So, you filter your emails into a "win" folder, and notice there's an email in there ...
"£250K Blue Play With Us winner - congratulations!"

"Hi there,
Thank you for taking part in our live £250K Blue giveaway on Twitter!

"You were the very lucky winner ..."
About to call an ambulance ...
"of the #BlueBoxPlease competition where you won a £250,000 Blue Scratch card – congratulations!"
And RELAX.
