New win notification even though I didn't win?

Open
GamingBunny

Hi, yesterday I've got a new game win notification, even though I didn't win anything. I didn't get any email for winning, and all of my past wins are already marked as received (last win was from 4 days ago and was marked received at the same day, but the notification is from yesterday, so it's unrelated).
Any way to get rid of the false notification?

EDIT: Okay, it was a reroll win from an old giveaway... Thanks for the comments.

rerolls are not granted without a valid reason or are they?

Presumably not, but I've had rerolls happen to me without any explanation, where I did not consent to a reroll at all, did not violate any rules (not even custom rules), and was never asked or told the reason. Apparently moderators can grant rerolls under special circumstances that completely ignore the winner.

I made rerolls after months (suggested by support tickets), because winners didn't come back to the site :/

people who suddenly stop returning to the site make me curious as to what happened to them for them to stop coming back, hope they're alright and everything's fine with them

:/ and steam accounts are abandoned.

I also have tickets now with people that didn't come back (3 months!), Probably is not allowed to make public their names here.

Generally not. One of the most common valid reasons where you would not have to consult the winner would be if they already own parts of the pack that's given away

If the win notification is still there, it's because you have something that's not marked.
Check prior pages of your won history. Most likely, an old giveaway was rerolled and it happened to end with you as the new winner. This could occur with giveaways after a long time. Scroll down and check them all.

Maybe a re-roll was granted from an old GA GamingBunny entered, but has since won the game so it was re-rolled again

Haha, thanks! It's my Sim from The Sims 4 after her twin sister's ghost burned her.

Those pages (GA created/won) need an optional sort by unsent/unmarked or optional hide (sent/marked).

As do I but I turned it off as I also check the site regularly, even if only to browse the forums and the notification here will be much more noticeable than an email which I may miss in busier periods.

On the mobile app about two weeks ago, I got win notifications three times and they were all for GAs I'd won (and claimed) back in 2016.

Haven't seen it acting up lately.

I gotta admit though, false SpaceCats are really depressing.

OH I found it! I assume it was a reroll from a giveaway I didn't win. But problem is, by the two weeks, I've already won that same game from a new giveaway...

So I'm not gonna click "view key", guess you should reroll again. :P
Thanks for the help!
