Woke up to find a "YOU'VE WON US$28,000,000.00" event in Google calendar. Have I just been hacked?

Turns out it's a clever (and annoying) spammer trick. If someone attaches a Calendar invite to an email, Gmail will automatically be added to your Google Calendar (even it it has been marked as Spam). Would recommend turning off the "Automatically add invitations to my calendar" to avoid this happening again in the future.

Go to Calendar -> Settings and then the option is on the first screen.
