Our prizes weren't particularly valuable. Most had an inexpensive pattern in them, a fat quarter, and a couple of pieces of candy. But the value wasn't the point. It's just no fun to play a game like Bingo and lose all the time while the same people keep winning all the time. The woman who came to our table to "teach us how to play" said that it was okay to cheat at this game, but for the "big money" then no. I wasn't sure what the difference was. In my book, cheating is cheating regardless of the price of the prize.
