  • had a 'whilst you were out' card from royal mail, turned up in my little car to collect and it was a full size adult's burton snowboard with boots and bindings - i had absolutely no inkling i had won!

    just about managed to fit it in with the end hanging out the open window :)

    got loads of use out of it as well on two snowboard holidays and loads of time on the dry slopes around here - a very welcome prize!

  • I received an email a few years ago that said congratulations you have won a scooter - me thinks son will be happy - No i had won a vespa scooter - was very shocked - it had the added bonus of a holiday to Rome too.
  • It's happened to me twice.

    One was in an 2013 I got a box from the courier and wasn't expecting a delivery. My son and I opened the box and inside was an Xbox 360 with Kinect. Both my son and I were in shock and said "Wow!" at the same time. It was from a reindeer Christmas advent and was fabulous as the kids had been asking for one.

    The second I think was Jan 2014 and a parcel turned up, again I wasn't expecting anything and when I opened it, it was an iPad! It didn't have any correspondence with it so I couldn't say thank you or know where it came from. Having a look on MSE, someone said it could have been from a Times hourly comp, but I have no real idea!
