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.

Norah JonesI work for a local paper, and the company had a raffle. The prize... Norah Jones tickets at Althorpe House and a hamper meal for 2 people worth £100 when you get there.
I didnt enter the competition myself, but my name somehow got entered still, and i won!!!
It pissed itself down, and i got absolutely soaked, the chicken hamper I ordered had no chicken in it, and we were surrounded by old stuck up people who wouldnt let us under their umbrellas.
Got some free chocolate though. Worst gig ever.
