2 free tickets on the Aquazoom Ride
Yonks ago when I was a child, I entered a local Newspaper competition to win a free go on our local Swimming Pool water chute ride, called 'Aquazoom' of which there was two chutes, Vortex and Sidewinder. Sidewinder was always the scariest from memory, not due to the drop at the end of the ride but due to the rumours of Razer Blades being placed in the ride to cut kids up (never been proven).

So I entered the competition, can't remember what I had to do but it must of been easy as I won 2 tickets, which was actually two pieces of blue rubber that I had to show before entering the ride. I remember being told that that due to the rubber being the wrong colour they wasn't valid, so I walked off with the hump.

The Pool is now a block of flats. Only thing I've won in recent years is 3 points and £60 lighter thanks to speeding.

We had the razor blade legend at our waterpark too (in Durban SA)
must be a common one, never proven but we all believed it as kids

A £60 lighter for speeding?
The local force just fined me, but I'd have held out for the prize, if I'd known.
