yes - I was part of a recent acquisition and made a little over 4M (pretax). I had 0.1% of the company. I was 24th employee (engineer). The company had 55 people at the time of acquisition. I joined about 14 months before the acquisition.
edit: If vested. But after so short, only 25% vested. Congrats! Sounds like there's more upside for you!
I for one support the uncovering attempts. I'm attempting to do that myself on all the stories as well.
