So today, of all things, I won a massive 10 kilo block of chocolate. No, not a typo. 10 mofo KG's of sweet cadburys dairy milk chocolate.
It was a result of $1 raffle ticket I purchased whilst doing my weekly hospital visit.
I ended up donating 4 kilos of it back to the hospital and childrens ward. I gave another 2 kilos of it to my office, who were excited at first, but moving reeeeaaally slowly at the end of the day. I gave the other 4 kilos to the wife as a "happy valentines day" gift, and she attacked it at first, but couldnt get passed 3 pieces, it's so fn huge and thick.
So I have a question, has anyone else won a prize which at first sounded great, but ended up being pretty useless?

I've won 3 meat trays in my life, and every single time I would put it in the fridge and go to bed to find out that my parents have taken the meat before I have woken up.

My mum is nearly 70 and won a speed boat.
She sold it to some guy at my bros work.
My ex entered one of those free holiday comps you see at shopping centers when she was 14 and won. Her mum cracked the shits at her for giving their information out and didn't take the prize!
Another picture for people to check out the size.
As for my dud prizes, i got a Flip Mino HD end of last year and have never used it. I won a holiday back when i was young for geussing amount of tennis balls in a cylinder, but because i was too young they gave me a tennis racquet i've never used.
That's what she said XD (soz had 2).
I don't enter much and never buy raffles. Although our stationary supplied at work gives out free movie tickets every couple weeks... first 50ppl get a double pass to see a advanced screening of a movie. Im generally one of the first to get the tickets (you email em back). So I take the missus to the movies every few weeks.
Haven't won much else in my life time lol.

Funny story. My mum once one an electrical goods raffle. TV, VCR plus more stuff.
She got an entry form from a shop. She asked at the checkout where she could hand it in. No one knew. The manager came and didn't know. So after a long search and a persistent mother, they found the raffle draw box. Weeks past and she won. They told her for some reason hers was the only entry. Lol
When I was around 12-14 years old, I won a church raffle for a joy ride in a single engine plane. I tried to sell my prize to buy model cars but my grandmother insisted I go on the flight. People were astonished how unenthusiastic I was when I won. I quietly muttered that it was my number and some random lady next to me got so excited she yelled out that one of the winners was here.
Funny thing was that I enjoyed and remember the BMW ride to the airport more then the flight. Nice new 5 series driving the winners thought the German Black Forrest to the airstrip.

I just woke up to a text message telling me I have won 500,000 pounds. I just have to send an email to a UK address provided to claim my prize. Guess I shall ring work and tell them I won't be in then wait for the shops to open.
