I have seen stations send their check in Sweepstakes many times when I asked
for a repeat of the number, especially in the most recent Phone contest.  If
I notice that the number matches the check I ask again in a different way
and keep trying. On rare occasions the serial number and the check are the
same.

(A free story:  In one SS CW several years ago, I lost a QSO -- and maybe a
mult -- because I logged NR 61 instead of 149 (or something like that).
Weird.  I remembered asking him several times for a repeat: "NR?  NR?"
About three years later, looking at some other SS data, I saw that the
guy's CHECK was 61.  He kept sending me his CK instead of his NR, and I
logged what he sent.)
