Good deeds do get rewards!
I was about 16 and a ratbag teenager. Many teens were worse but I know I was pretty selfish and rude to my family. Anyway so one day the inspiration took me to clean up the kitchen just as a nice thing. Put the radio on when I was washing the dishes. Scrub, scrub.

About 10 mins into the task the DJ announces they have Crowded House concert tickets and albums to give away. Crowded House were a relatively new band at the time but quite popular and this was their first trip to God's Country. I didn't hurry as such; downed tools, dried my hands and picked up the phone and started hitting auto dial (busy) auto dial (busy) auto dial (busy) etc. then suddenly "Hi! You're the 10th caller!"

I nearly dropped the phone! 2 tickets to a Sat night gig at the Hordern Pavlova and a copy of CH's first album arrived in the mail a week or so later. Woo! So good deeds do sometime result in a win!
