Do you ever just get a win in the mail with NO notice?

I would love to hear some stories about wins that just show up unexpected! Every day I check my email but I still secretly hope something will just show up...does that ever happen to anyone?
 
Just received $50 giftcard from Meijer, no notice. iPod from Northface years ago. Many small gift cards, usually $25 or $50. I'm sure there's more decent stuff I'm forgetting, not to mention all of the trinkets. I won a trip from WeTV a few years ago and the affidavit and winning notice arrived via a thick USPS envelope, no prior notice I won or it was coming. I think it's smart on companies parts to do it that way...if it happens to not show up or gets lost, you'd never know it was missing, so it saves them the trouble of answering the "where is my prize?" emails.
 
One of the first sweepstakes I ever entered was an instant that gave some odd prizes, like a picture of chewed gum. So when it said I won a bag of peanuts and I never got it I thought it was just one of those bogus prizes. Like a year later I got a tiny bag of peanuts in the mail. I think that is as close to a surprise showing up as I have had. Though I have to say that I was pretty surprised.
