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.

At school a long time agoA fund raiser, magazine drive. I struggled hard to sell enough magazines to get the prize I wanted -- a skateboard. It was something crazy like thirty subscriptions. At the end, the skateboard was a tiny foot-long 'baby board'. Thanks a lot, school.
