Once when I was in High School, one of the officials won a cake in the cake raffle. It was not a fun game to watch as a student, and probably worse to officiate (it was a girls game, one team about 15-5, the other about 5-15, and the game ended up as one would predict), I would venture to guess it was the lowest level and worst played game he had all year (he had worked the Boys State Championship of the classification above the year before) but he looked pretty happy afterwards when he found out that he had gotten something beneficial out of the 60-mile trip to work the game.
