Has anyone here ever won one of the Heritage survey prizes?

Heritage has sent me a survey to submit every year ferreting out numismatic assets/interests and likelihood of wanting to sell or auction coins. In exchange for the marketing information, they commonly offer prizes for drawings, typically a quality St. Gaudens and other desirable goodies. This year:
• Grand Prize: $10,000 to spend at Heritage Auctions*
• First Prize: Five winners - On any single consignment that exceeds $10,000 in value, Heritage will add $1,000 to the final settlement amount you receive.*
• Second Prize: Ten winners - On any single consignment that exceeds $10,000 in value, Heritage will add $500 to the final settlement amount you receive.*
• Third Prize: Ten winners will have the opportunity to have a Heritage representative review their collection, give a professional current market evaluation, and have up to 30 coins certified by PCGS or NGC at Heritage's expense (up to a $5,000 value).*
• All respondents will receive a coupon to auction one item (valued above $1,000) free of seller's fees, in one of Heritage's 2017/2018 auctions.*
Have any of you every won one of these?

No, but I have rec'd a ton of junk mail and spam, b/c of them.

No, but I did get to print out a no seller fee coupon on a thousand dollar plus item with a $5000 consignment.
Guess they will have to get by on the 17.5% vig.
No. Quit filling them out. Improving everyone else's odds
No
I've won the coupon every time.
At 17.5% I'm surprised there aren't more 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.
I have no idea how I won this from Heritage.
Lance.
Several years ago I won a coupon for one free grading at PCGS.

No...they are just promotional sales hype.... I guess someone 'wins'....if one can really call it a 'win'....Cheers, RickO
Yes. I won a 1907 High Relief in NGC 61. My phone was having battery issues that day and the representative from Heritage had to keep calling me several times because the phone kept cutting out. At first thought that he was calling me to solicit coins for an auction and almost did not answer my phone. When I realized it was for real I was beside myself!
At the next big show I personally thanked Steve Ivy.
The only other High Relief that I owned was an XF, or so ,about 1970.
I won one of their third prizes but was never able to collect it. I tried to arrange meeting with Mark Feld because I think highly of him, but it just didn't seem to ever work out. I still have the letter saying I won, however.
That is really neat.

All of my collection is in a safe deposit box!
Previously 1st prize has always been an MS high-relief Saint. Not this year. Times are tough I guess.
For what it's worth, I received an email from one of the powers at Heritage stating that 1) he was very embarrassed about my inability to collect the award, and 2) email him directly. This email is above and beyond what I expected, so let me repeat what has been frequently said: Heritage is a class act.
