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.

Tickets to FranceMy mate won two ferry tickets to Cherbourg and invited me along, I was chuffed as I'd never been to France. Tickets were for 1 night stay only and we had to travel on a set ferry crossing.... Arrived on a Sunday at 7am, everywhere is shut, wandered around for 5 hours before we found somewhere open to eat and a room for the night. Did do a bit of sightseeing tho and found a bar, but as I later learned hardly anywhere opens there on a Sunday. We went back 7am on the Monday morning, still nothing open, so no cheap booze or fags. Arse.
Edit: Azmodeus - yep! Looks like my mate fell for that one....!
