Topic: Rubbish prizes

Imagine my delight today when an email pops up saying I’ve won a prize!

AMAZING.

I hadn’t actually entered a competition, but that’s ok.

No.


A kung fu panda 4 tote bad and a bottle of Panda Oyster sauce 20.

Seriously, has anyone  ever won a worse prize?

Not exactly rubbish prizes, but its the only time I won anything, so here goes:


When I was about 12, we were walking around town and came across a Marlboro promotion (kids these days don't know they're born). There was a prize draw, so we filled in cards for all the family and put them into the prize draw box. As soon as we had done that, they declared the time for the prize draw had come, picked up the box, and started drawing cards out from the top. Guess which family won lots of prizes! We won a large sun screen umbrella that lived in the garden for years, my little brother won a swiss army knife, and I won...a large box of cigarettes!

Your prize is probably worth the most monetarily nowadays.

Years ago when your and naive I was accosted by an attractive women handing out scratch cards at Piccadilly Station. Has a little scratch and she says “oh my God! You’ve win a cruise!”. I’m normally cynical, assume things are too good to be true, but she was lovely and could t possibly be lying to me I thought.

All I had to do was sign up to something that cost a few quid a month and then supposedly got me free entry/discounted drinks in certain Manchester bars. I thought I was being had, but still, for a cruise, not a bad deal.

Signed up, read the small print. The ‘cruise’ was pretty much a ferry from Hull to Norway and back. 2 nights. I never went, and never used the card. That showed them.
