Amazon keeps popping up when I use Safari. How do I stop this?

Amazon keeps popping up, telling me I have won some thing. This is happening in Safari. I have pop ups blocked in my settings, but it still happens. It blocks my screen, I have to close safari, then start my search over again or use my favourite again. In a minute or so, it pops up again. What is wrong? How can I fix this?

iPad Air, iOS 8.1.1
