Has anyone ever used a writing prompt that led to an amazing story? Maybe one that you were paid for?

I'm really more curious as to what people's methods are for getting started with a story. Writing prompts, dreams, real life experiences etc.
Yesterday I started a story from a writing prompt and it's turning into something I really love. I've never done that before, and I think I'm definitely gonna try again.
I don't know if it qualifies as an amazing story, but a few months back i sold a story based on a monthly prompt in the SYW SFF section. It comes out next month.Has anyone ever used a writing prompt that led to an amazing story? Maybe one that you were paid for?
I have started subbing a story I wrote for one of the horror monthly prompts. And yes, I think it's a pretty good story.
I don't know if I'd call mine amazing either, but I've sold five of my SFF prompt stories so far...and some of the prompts were down right kooky. (My robot/banana/cattle prod one comes out in August.) I can't wait till I get back in the SFF prompt groove. I just have to finish my novel first...
