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.

AstiWhen we were at school they used to do this game at the school fete where you had 6 or 8 numbers on a spinner, 6 or 8 people had to buy a number and then when they were all bought then the spinner was spun and the number it landed on won a bottle of Asti or other bubbly stuff.
So (aged 15) we used to get a few of us together and buy all the numbers. Guaranteed winnage. Then we'd drink the booze in the playground before going back to the hall to play in Orchestra... 15yo drunken flautists ahoy!
