Does domain take 1 week to activate after winning in GoDaddy auction?

I won a domain from GoDaddy expired auctions and its current status shows that it will be available for me to use after 1 week. Is this normal?
How much time does it normally take for a domain to appear active after you have won in GoDaddy auction?

Got this email from GoDaddy today.

We canceled the auction of <domainname>.com per the terms of our legal agreement (Universal Terms of Service) because the current registrant has renewed it. If you already paid for this domain name, you will automatically receive a refund within the next 6 days.

We're sorry you didn't win this domain. However, we have thousands of other great names available at GoDaddy Auctions. Visit our website to search for your next domain.

This sucks man!!
