Last one was Harry Potter & Disney Lex Go Games. I assume from a MD as they already have your address.
But also had some Wool show up from Gathered, A Sanitiser bundle from Natural Health Mag, Cat Litter Hamper which I think was from YourCat and a Cricut Craft Bundle from a craft magazine, I traced that back to a comp that was months old!
These are all from the last year.

Unrelated, but I did have a Chinese takeaway turn up a month ago with no receipt, phone number or menu in it. I'm pretty sure I didn't enter a competition for that.Best 2021 wins: 48 bottles of cider, £200 John Lewis Vouchers, £100 Currys vouchers3 -

I had a TV just turn up out the blue and after a bit of research i found out from my URL history it was from Radio Times. Also had loads of small things turn up not knowing who from.

I've had my first one ever this month - a Mira shower worth about £200! Turned out to be a comp I entered a few months back when our shower was on the fritz, but it's now fixed so the new one is just sitting in my office while I decide what to do with it 😂Comping wins 2022: 115 (£12,109)

Last week I had some cake mixes turn up out of the blue from a Halloween win then on Monday some gingerbread ingredients from the same comp. Grandchildren were here so have taken these home. Years ago I had a number of things turn up unexpected. A brilliant robot for grandson never found out where it are from. Once when we were on holiday our neighbour took in a Chimenea and a very heavy parcel. I didn’t know what a Chimenea was and the heavy was a bag of cement. Never did find out where it came from.4
