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.

LagerI was playing at a gig in a hotel in the middle of nowhere one night, and my mate's raffle number came up. When he went to collect his prize, he spotted two tins of lager so took them. Only to be told, "Oh no, sorry. That's two prizes."
Tight fisted bar stewards were giving away a single can of Tennent's Export, worth about 50p, for a £1 stake!
I once won a £600 mixing desk in a free prize draw though. That was nice.
