Winning without winning

Have you guys come across lucky draw prizes that you received it but you cant use it?

Well, this can be quite true if you get voucher such as hotel stay, air ticket, cruise coupon, food voucher and so on....

Normally this kind of voucher come with thousand and one clauses and term such as you can only use it during non peak period, non transferable, can't exchange to cash and so on. So by the end of all the clause, there might even be hidden clauses that you had never come across. What about the clause on 'the organiser can change or terminate the coupon without prior notice'.....

Scary huh....

So when you get the lucky draw which you consider yourself as lucky, now you have to re-strategies on how to redeem the stupid lucky draw especially if it was travel coupon or free hotel stay that come with clause of non peak season and limited to current 2 months. OMG...how to arrange trip in such a short period and involve lot of working leaves?

So by the end........you incur more worries....more time to re-think.....and most people will end up let go the lucky draw voucher they win....

Well, that life...hehe.....is just winning something as if you never win it....

So lesson learn: Lucky draw that give out vouchers are not generous. They just want to do free publicity....Hehehe....Am I right?
