I really hate surveys that tell you "$5 bonus!" and then in the fine print it's that mostly everyone is going to get <50 cents and one person will get $5. So scammy.
"$50 bonus! You will be entered in a lottery where you can win the chance to enter another lottery where the top three picks will enter the finally lottery. The winner will receive a 5% chance to win $50 and a 95% chance to actually owe me money by the end of this"

I actually wrote in the comments that I lost interest in trying hard to improve my score when I realized that it was impossible for me to win any kind of decent bonus and that they should be more honest in their descriptions and not bury the lead seven pages into a survey.

I set my panda in TM for Zoltars before I went to bed so it'd wake me when they started dropping, woke up when it dinged, decided I fucking hated Zoltars, turned it off and went back to bed.

Anyway, good morning folks.

This technically happened to me.

Won a "lottery" on a survey.
And my prize was being able to send the university a check for this thing at 50% off the retail price.
