I had 500p this morning. I guess someone deleted some GAs?

That's the weird thing. I did win something, yes. But it didn't un-enter myself from other GAs of the same games.

Congrats on winning Shadow of War. That explains what happened - when you win a game all your other entries for that game automatically get refunded, so that's an instant 50 points per other open entry you had. So if you had 352 points and were entered into 11 GAs for that game, when you won one of them you'd be refunded 500 points for the other 10, putting you at 852 points in total.
Just in case getting the game itself wasn't enough of a prize ;)

Still doesn't explain why I had to manually un-enter the remaining GAs after syncing, tho

That is a bit odd. But entries don't get auto-removed after you sync (unless I'm mistaken), only at the instant you are selected as the winner. So you could still enter a bunch of giveaways after winning and those new entries wouldn't get automatically removed after you get the game - you'd need to do that manually. I don't know if you entered anything after the moment you were chosen as the winner, but if so then that's a possible explanation.
Another possibility is that it had nothing to do with the game you won, but that you had a lot of entries to some game that had its GAs mass-deleted. Headsnatchers, maybe?

That used to be the case, but it was updated a while ago so you are no longer allowed to enter new games for anything you won - even if you haven't received it yet. So the moment you win a giveaway, it's impossible to have further entries for that game. I believe the restriction is only lifted in the rare case that you actually do not receive the game (within 7 days), in which case you would mark as Not Received and will then be able to enter again.

Maybe there's a couple different versions of the game with different steam ids and steamgifts only removed you from giveaways with the exact steam id that you won.
Edit: There is a base version, silver, gold, and definitive edition.
