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.

Back when I was in year 6We had a special last day of term before easter day in which there was lots of games and such like. One game was a treasure map where you had to pay 20p to put a flag in a map, whoever got the closest to the cross under the map won all the sweets that were being used as decoration. Somehow I managed to win which was great, except I had given up sweets for lent. The scavengers I had as classmates begged me for some sweets, so I ended up giving everything away except for one chocolate egg!
Also when I gave up drinking I won a yard of ale in a pub game. Again I ended up giving it away to the guy who helped me cheat to win!
I think I'm going to give up money and play the lottery!
