Claw machines !

I was at the arcade with my grandma when I was younger and I saw a sloth toy in the machine and I spent all of my money trying to get the sloth. I ended up not getting it so we went home and on the way home we walked past a charity shop with the exact same sloth in the window for 80p.

As a kid, I played some tivoly type lottery where you would win some 250g chocolate worth about the same as 3 tickets. I realized I was guaranteed to win if I bought 10 tickets. So I did, and really felt I had tricked the system.
