Goldfish given out as prizes at fairs are usually lethargic, emaciated, and overall just plain out unhealthy. Goldfish from fairs are often not given an appropriate home in which to live and the people who win them are not prepared for their new pet and probally do not know much about goldfish and their needs. For this reason many, many goldfish from fairs have simply died within a week or less after being taken "home". However if given an appropriate home and if nursed back to health goldfish from fairs can live between 10-20 years!
I won some goldfish from a fair and we bought a big tank and a filter and they've been alive for a year or so! I went to the same fair and won some more goldfish but they died in 2 days :( so i guess it really depends on how healthy the goldfish are.
