Luck but No Luck

We had our Division Christmas Celebration yesterday. Its a big annual celebration which are attended by all schools in our city. It is an event which is well-attended because of the food, entertainment, awarding and giving recognition to achievers and appreciation to retired personnel.
The highlight of the event was the raffle. I don't usually attend this event and even if I did, I never finished the whole event. When my colleagues and I were on our way there, we already decided that we were not going to stay long. Anyway, I said, I never got luck to raffle.
After two hours of staying in the event, my friend and I decided to leave. When I got home after a couple of hours, a lot of my colleagues texted and called me because I won a big 4-burner oven! My friends told me that my name was first called as a winner. But sad to say it was forfeited because I was not around so it was decided to pick another winner.
What a day! Had you experienced the same?
Just went to the bakery before going home to enjoy it over a cup of coffee.

That is the rule. If you don't attend the event or you leave early, your prize is forfeited to give chance to the others who attended and stayed until the event ended.

OH NO! That is a shame that they did not keep the oven for you.
