To be annoyed about the school raffle?

Raffle was a week ago. I had to leave just before the raffle as the youngest was feeling tired and had had enough of the sun.
I've been informed we won the 2nd prize in the raffle, but the school have not mentioned anything, and apparent last year they just rolled it over to the next person who was there. I get that it's raising funds for the school, but AIBU to be a little annoyed about this?

If it’s a voucher for a cut and blow dry at Mary’s salon, don’t for goodness sake offer to look at her website.😚

Well played! I had a proper laugh at that.

Sorry! There was a post about someone who won a raffle prize of a cut and blow dry and then got into a “discussion” with the salon owner, she gave them some free advice about their website, in return they gave her a free colour, then expected her to do more work on the website for free……

Not the point, but there was a great thread on here ages ago about a woman who won a ‘guess the sweets’ jar in absentia. one of the organisers took it home and was very obstructive about handing it over. OP fought tooth and nail for her rightful winnings and got the jar handed over eventually with half the sweets missing!

Here’s the thread if anyone’s interested!
