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.

Wow! 10 Years to late.For those of you who live in London, I'm sure you've heard of Brent Cross. They ran this prize thing where you went around the whole store and had to figure out answers to questions and stuff and then post your entry, and hope you had most right answers. And then won the draw.
I did so at age 12. I felt TOP DOLLAR, but I had no clue what the prize was. Arrogant little child I was, I said that it was just the achievment I had wanted.
I recieved my prize, as the HUGE (It was as big as me) box was handed to me. I felt great.
I opened it at home, and what was it? A freaking hamster run-around thing for 3 year olds. I couldn't get in the three-year old hole, being 12. I was a tad upset, and ended up giving it to charity.
My brother (Age 8) won the comp the next year. He won a hamster-thing too. He got to change it for a Buzz lightyear toy as big as your torso, that lit up and everything.
I apologise for length, and the emplied nudity of my b3ta cherry popping.
