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.

A year ago, on a summer between colleges,I decided to spend every drop of energy I had entering online competitions.
I reckon I entered about 500 \m/
And I won! I WON ONE! OUT OF 500! And what did I win?
A life size cardboard cut-out of Lara Croft. I don't even remember entering the competition. :( I gave it to my grandad and apparently it still turns up in random places in Heathrow Airport.
I also won a signed AFC Bournemouth football, and had no idea why it was addressed to me and how I'd won it; apparently (I'd forgotten) - my mum had bought me a membership to their FAN CLUB for a birthday. I still have it somewhere!
