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.

Good prizes. shame I am a spazz.I won a cd walkman in a school raffle. Bear in mind it was when they had only just come out, and it was about the size of an LP. Being 13 and skint I didn't have any cd's so I sold it to a mate's big brother for £30. Hoorah!
a week later I entered a competition on Radio Lincolnshire (or could have been Lincs FM) and won the top 5 cd albums! Woohoo!
Hang on. I'd just sold the cd player. and it would have cost me well over £100 to replace it. Bugger.
Finally got a cd player a couple of years later, and with great anticipation went to play one of the cd's, only to find it was scratched to fuck. Turns out my brother did it in retaliation for me calling him fat.
I'm not bitter though. Oh no. Cocksucker.
