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.

Somehow...I received a brown jiffy bag with the postmark of some fullfilment centre stamped on it.
I don't remember ordering anything or winning any compos, but I opened it anyway.
Inside was a DVD, all excited I pulled it out to reveal that it was...
... The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas.
I considered snapping the DVD in two and slashing my wrists with it.
I still don't know why I got that, but I would never had entered a compo with that as the prize.
