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.

Christ, I've won some sh*tAt my primary school's Christmas Fair, I was a frequent winner at various raffles.
My winnings include:
large jar of pickled onions
a packet of Trill
tub of SMA powdered baby milk
some horrendous gran-scented talc
a 3 pack of tinned tuna chunks (in brine, I believe)
a tube of Dentu-Creme
The real killer was when my number came up for a huge bottle of Bell's Whisky. I was only 12 at the time, so they refused to give it to me, and sent me on my way with two wanky little Panda Pops. The reputedly alcoholic then-headmaster then promptly won the Whisky.
