    A few years ago I won a "huge Christmas meat hamper", it had to be collected was a 90 min drive, but we made a day of it as they had a Christmas festival on with Santa for the kids. My "huge" hamper turned out to be a pack of crisps, a pot of jam and a jar of chutney! :rotfl::rotfl:

  • My worst prize was a food box from a subscription service. The terms said that you could choose but they just sent me a vegan one. When it arrived most of it was moldy. I emailed them pictures and they sent me a tiny pack of crushed nuts as a replacement for the moldy stuff. It all went in the bin in the end.
