I participated in a contest at a recruitment booth with wii sports basketball. Top score would win an iPad. I clutched a nearly perfect score and got 1st by a decent margin. But at some point before the awards were given, they decided to change the rules into a lottery for everyone who participated.

Sweet. I won't even bother trying next time.

God, I hate the whole thing of everyone getting a participation trophy and everyone being a winner. I was never a fan as a child and that hasn't changed one bit.
