sweepstakes winner
Random prize recipient
A sweepstakes winner is someone who has won a prize in a sweepstakes—a promotional contest where winners are selected by chance rather than skill.
The phrase often appears in notifications that sound too good to be true: Congratulations, you're a sweepstakes winner!
Such announcements are frequently scams, making the term carry a whiff of suspicion in everyday use.
