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.

Cubs and TombolaI won three badges in Cubs prize draw. They were the badges for a different cub scout group so I couldn't even sew them onto my jumper. Completely useless!
When I was 10 I had many goes at the tombola in the local school fun day. I lost so many times they gave me a consolation prize of some bath salts.
More recently I won a prize draw on a music website. My prize? A Dub Pistols album (crap) a t-shirt (too small) and a mouse mat (the print wore off)
To my knowledge the only good thing I ever won was two tickets to see Mercury Rev and I couldn't even remember entering the competition.
