Has anyone ever won a prize or seen a sweepstakes that totally freaked you out?

I'll go first,

One time I received a heavy package in the mail and it was all wrapped in paper with duct tape (omg). There was no note inside and I had no idea where it was from. It looked terrifying the way it was wrapped like some sort of homemade weapon. Where did this come from? Is this some sort of freaky message from my ex?

Nope! It was a comic book sweepstakes win I had entered and forgotten :ROFLMAO:

Any terrifying wins on your end?

LOL, WHY did they wrap it like that!?
 
Three times. Once, a box showed up from FedEx and it was an iPad. I never received a notice that I won it or that it was coming. It just showed up. This was from an ebay sweepstakes probably 8-10 years ago. The second one was a semi pulling up in front of my house with a large flat bed containing a huge wooden box. I had no idea what it was. I had them place it in my garage and slowly pried it open. It was a large pub mirror. Lastly, I won $25K from Dollar General. That in and of itself would warrant a freak out, but the bigger freak out was trying to figure out if it was legitimate or not because it was an email, not a phone call and the email was sort of just generic. "Congrats, you won a first place prize. Your prize should you choose to accept it is $25,000".

Omg, that last one! So nonchalant, telling someone they won a potentially life-changing amount of money! I would have freaked out too. But still, all incredible wins!!
