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.

When our family finished the puzzle-walk-thingie, somewhere on a campnig in the early 80'swe got to stay up late for the glorious prize festival. The first two families won a real nice cake. I mean, it had cream, chocolate, the works. Our family, being third, won a 5 cent smily wine gum.
I can still remember the presenter going: "And for family X, a 'gezichtje'!"
(dutch for little face)
pfffft
Also, at a fun fare, I once found a raffle ticket of the Big Dallas Quiz on the ground with 'winner' on it. I picked out a big box with a racing track in it. It broke down within two hours worth of playing.
