Explanation:

1. won / have just heard: The first sentence refers to a specific event in the past (last night), so we use the past simple (won). The second sentence expresses a recent event with present relevance, hence the present perfect (have just heard).

2. Have you seen / was: The first sentence is a question about a current state (seeing a profile picture), suitable for present perfect (Have you seen). The second sentence describes being on VKontakte last night, which is a completed action in the past, so past simple (was).

3. has had / bought: The first sentence expresses a state that started in the past and continues to the present, so present perfect (has had). The second sentence describes a completed action in the past (last month), so past simple (bought).

4. hasn't visited / chatted: The first sentence describes a situation that started in the past and continues to the present, so present perfect (hasn't visited). The second sentence describes a specific completed action in the past (the other day), so past simple (chatted).

5. told: The first sentence describes a specific completed action in the past (told), so past simple (told).
