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.

The last raffle i won...I once went to the sailmakers jazz night, which holds an incredibly stupid raffle every sunday along with an incredibly good open mic jazz night... Me and my friend made it our mission to win the regular handknitted hats with er...a bit right on top of the head shaped like the male genitalia.(yes the owners of the night like to knit...)
We bought about 20 raffle tickets because we were THAT determined.
We won first time round... We got the silly hat.
We then won two more times. We won a stupid stuffed pinnochio doll.. I think i lost that on the way home..
And we also won a McDonalds Employee of the Month 2002 plaque. It has pride of place in my living room. I never got employee of the month before! let alone at a raffle![and ive never worked at macdonalds im glad to say...] ^_^
