This story reminds me of when I entered a prize draw in our local newspaper, years ago. The prize was a year’s supply of milk. With 5 children, it seemed like a great prize, and I was sure that it would be in vouchers, spread over the year.
I received a phone call, telling me that I had won, and was thrilled...until she asked me to collect it as soon as possible, because it was taking up so much room in her office! The year’s supply was in long-life cartons. Fine. I can stack it in the shed, I thought, but when I collected it, filling all my boot and back seat, it was sterilised milk. We all hate it!
In the end I gave a lot away to friends and neighbours, and sold the rest cheaply to our local corner shop, but I was very wary, after that, of prize draws!
