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.

Always the way...We were in a quiz nite thing (orgazined through a local job agency) which always has a raffle. Anyway, loads of great prizes and a free bar...but thats a different story. Anyway in true style, we didnt get our number drawn till near the end. And obviously, by then its the crap prizes left. So we ended up with a big purple rabbit. Great. We made up for it tho by winning the wooden spoon at the end of the quiz!!
I wont mention about our one of our managers who won 2 raffle prizes and proceeded to take back the two bottles of wines our teams/office had donated to go back into the board room from whence they came.
