Not really a win but got fully licensed software worth £695

Hi, this isn't exactly a win and there were a number of us in the group that got this, but for someone who's never received any competition win or other reward before I was quite thrilled.
A couple of months back I beta tested some speciallist software in a closed group with others from around the world.
Anyway today as a 'thank you' I received a CD with the fully licensed version of the software, which normally retails for £695. It's software I use every day and without which I literally would not be able to use my computer, so I'm quite grateful and pleased. I had purchased an older version with a grant about 3 years ago for £1195 but this was starting to have problems as technology has improved since then - I was actually about to request funding for an upgrade just this coming week.
Just thought I'd share, even though it's not technically a 'win'.

Thanks. As you said, what makes it more special is that it's something I will definitely use day to day rather than something that's just 'nice to have'. I didn't even know they would be sending these out, they just asked everyone who participated for their existing purchased serial numbers and left it at that.
