Crappy PrizesCompetitions, raffles, give-aways... sure the prizes look great, but don't they always turn out a bit crap should you happen to win them?
The last raffle I bought tickets for, they'd just given away the all-expenses paid weekend in New York when my number came up. Rushing up to find out what I'd won, I was a little disappointed to be handed a box of "Biscuits for Cheese". Especially as they were busy serving the cheese course (complete with biscuits) as they drew the raffle.

Dare Devil DennisI won first prize at a school fete by getting the highest score on Dare Devil Dennis. The prize was a giant toblerone, which I left on a table and it was stolen by the mayor to feed to his fat wife.
Apologies that this story sounds like it was lifted from the Beano.
