If someone gives you a private key as a "prize" you should always sweep from it, not import it, because they control that address as well if your wallet ever happens to use it as a change address.

OP can you confirm whether this address is a deterministic one that Electrum gave you or is this an imported public address/private key pair?

cbeast thanks for the explanation!

All the addresses I used were ones generated by electrum
