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.

SpannersAt some sort of dinner (about 8 years ago) the raffle at the end was pretty standard fare - wine, liquer chocolates etc etc. However, there were always some oddballs who's bring any random junk for the last prizes, and that year was no exception. My number was called, and I went to receive my prize - a box of spanners.
They weren't even new, either - secondhand, rusty spanners :(
Still, next year I got alcohol AND some Celebrations, which was a little more enjoyable
