I love a good Tombola and on Saturday I had an opportunity to partake. With my first £1 I chose 5 tickets and didn't win anything. A couple of hours later I had another go, with my second £1 I chose 10 tickets (it was near the end), two of which ended in a 5 and were therefore winners. I won a bottle of soy sauce and got to choose something else as they couldn't find the prize of the other ticket. I chose a bottle of wine!
I took my winnings back to the stall I was helping on and they were much admired. When I examined the soy sauce more closely I noticed that the paper seal was broken. Then I noticed that the liquid wasn't as high as it had been - a tide mark remained. Finally the expiry date was July 2003. Not a great prize
My advice, next time you* are donating items for such an event, check that you haven't used it and that it is still in date.
*not that I am blaming you for my dodgy soy sauce of course.
