Following on from the thread where people won millions, what was your crappiest prize?

Mine was probably a crate of Fosters. Couldn’t even give it away.

A bottle of salad cream 🤮 and a bottle of Buck's Fizz that was three years out of date. It practically exposed on the way home due to the ok fermentation. Opening it was interesting.

3 green cups and saucers (from the school staff room cupboard).

Bottle of non-alcoholic wine. Just, why?

A catering size tub of Branston pickle at a quiz evening. I like it but not that much. The people at the next table were a houseful of students who gratefully accepted it off me.

CMOTDibbler · 05/05/2021 21:10

A bale of hay. TBF it was in the goat club (don't ask) raffle, so other prizes were things like a big (like 20kg) bag of kale.

VelvetTrews · 05/05/2021 21:12

My mum once won a watch with no hands. She was very pleased when she saw the box and very disappointed when she opened it Grin

Horehound · 05/05/2021 21:12

Bottle of pop which turned out to be vinegar. Only realised when I started to drink it. Was about 10 at the time :(

Nothing. As in actually nothing. At the middle class sports club I used to work at every 3 months or so there would be a seasonal event of some kind where you would be called upon to donate something good, fancy ,substantial etc to be used as raffle prizes. I always donated m&s or John Lewis vouchers that we received as gifts from the in laws. Other prizes were things like champagne high tea, artisan cheeses, luxury hand made cakes and pies or vouchers for a meal somewhere nice etc.
This one day I was working the bar and had noticed the prize table looked as good as ever. Even though I remarked to my friend that I never won anything I would still have a go. I was busy when I heard my number called and had to stop what I was doing to make my way up to collect my prize. As I was walking up the woman handing out the prizes was laughing her head off. As my post indicates there was nothing left for me. She said that on the next event I can pick first prize without needing a ticket. I agreed to this and went about my day. At the next event the woman lied to my face about agreeing to this and said it wouldn't be fair on the paying winners. So yeah. What can you do?
