Mr. Randy Morrison would've requested you cash the check and ask that the $2,500 amount be sent via Western Union to him.
Meanwhile, the check would have not cleared and your bank would have been coming after you to make it good.
If someone were to win a legit prize of $50,000, I would think the agency would forward IRS tax forms to be filled out and returned prior to the award and then release the check.
Just thinking out loud.
