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?

If the pop-up reloads, force quit Safari (command - option/alt - esc) and reopen with the shift key held down. If that doesn't work, disconnect from the Internet, go to Safari/History and delete the website. Quit and reopen with the shift key held down. Then reconnect to the Internet.
There isn't one.
Try double clicking the Home button and swipe Safari upwards. Go to Settings/Safari and clear History and Website Data. Open Safari and test.

Safari website data on your iPhone or iPad - How to clear
I have an iPad doing this. I don’t know how to use a shift key in iPad.
I have cleared the web sites, Safari, blocked pop ups, history, cookies. It still pops up. Some times several times a day, while reading my epaper, or not for weeks at a time.
Amazon keeps popping up when I use Safari. How do I stop this?
