Keep one green, and make the other say orangish or purplish instead.

Edit: And have it so the don't overwrite each other, instead make it two separate banners. Maybe one that takes up the left side of the banner area, and the other the right side. (thanks SemiJames)

Thoughts?

I don't like how the "giveaway ended" overwrites the "won a giveaway."
That's my only gripe about it.

Are people really giving away/winning enough stuff to get confused between the two?

Yes.

I would say less confused, and just more kind of annoyed. Two radically different alerts shouldn't use the same formatting/location/color/etc.

I think this might be useful although I'm not 100% sure about the colouring

I've never confused the two myself, but anything that improves the clarity of visual feedback is a good idea in my book.

Just... don't make it orange. Us colorblind folk tend to not do too well with green and orange.

The most common form of colorblindness (which I also have) is usually called red/green colorblindness, but it also affects orange and yellow. Or technically it only affects the green light, but it shifts the whole spectrum between green and red towards the red (since orange and yellow are just red light with a bit of green mixed in).

Basically I see the color green slightly different than most people (I have a "green weakness") so it's easier to confuse it with other hues, and in limited light green things sometimes look black.
