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 of DOOM.On a school raffle day (We would get tickets to a concert, usually utterly crappy classical music or a children's choir) there was an unusually low turnout ( Or, not,) and only two people entered! And one of them was the teacher!
The other was me.
It was to a band that I really, really, really, outrageously liked at the time (And still do) so I was completely psyched about being able to go see it, finding a ride, saving up cash for a tee shirt... and I won.
But they neglected to tell us they were two tickets for people over 21. I was weeping the whole way home.
(BTW, I was 11 at the time. Go figure. And the lead singer was hot. Stupid music teacher.)
