I got the same message too, from "BestBuy", 347-522-0452. Oh well, just another scam - would have been nice to win something :)
I always wonder -- how they were going to profit from this scam?

Call from 1-347-522-0452 at 01:50. Left a notification on my Android phone containing URL obfuscation "http://www.bestbuy.ca.wonacontest.com". Whois tells me that wonacontest.com is shown below.

Got a random text message saying "Congratulations, your number made you BestBuy's winner of the day! Goto http://www.bestbuy.ca.wonacontest.com the claim your prize! You have 24 hours to claim."

Got the exact message on my cell a few minutes ago... Link tried to take me to tntrck.com or something of the sort... Website doesn't work, obviously a scam. Replied with 'STOP' the universal way of taking your number from texting services... We'll see if that works!

Got a random text message saying "Congratulations, your number made you BestBuy's winner of the day! Goto http://www.bestbuy.ca.wonacontest.com the claim your prize! You have 24 hours to claim." which is clearly a scam (website is not bestbuy.ca, but wonacontest.com). I've seen other reports of the same text, originating from another number in the 347 area code.
