Has anyone been given a Willy Wonka style golden ticket?

No but I could have done with a red card the other day when I asked for a bitter lemon and was told "I'm sorry - we have stopped doing it" - despite 2 of them in the cart, which I had to point out to him and it being on the menu.
Followed by a poor meal service... which had no priority (2nd time in 2 weeks) and I was then given the cabin crew meal of Pasta in CW... Don't ask.

Mine arrived in the post today. Interesting trial.
RJLondonGold - the Bitter Lemon confusion I might forgive. But GGL not getting their first choice of meal is not forgiveable (unless the cabin was full of PREMs, which seems unlikely
)

Fun idea - will be interesting to see how it goes. I'm a pretty low-ranking Gold, so unless it's going out to all I won't be seeing it.
SPG has/ had 4 "thank you" type vouchers sent to all their Platinum customers to hand to someone who delivers great service. I never ended up using them, but I did carry mine around for 6 months or so.

I received two today. Not entirely sure this will do what it says on the tin. I'll take them with me on my next flights and see if a good candidate shines through.

I got mine today although i am not ggl (yet). I did do 3'500 tps this year already and have a rtw trip planned in 3 days and 4 other flights til june. So either civ counts, given to all golds or the fact you have a couple of flights planned until end of june (when it stops). I will bring them along and ser where it goes.
Curious what cabin crew get out of them.
