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!====================================

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!0
