Problem Description:

The image shows five raffle tickets, each with a unique number (0001 to 0005). The prizes listed on the tickets are as follows:
- First Prize: A brand new card
- Second Prize: A toy truck
- Third Prize: Nothing at all

The task is to determine the probability of winning each prize if one ticket is randomly selected from these five tickets.

---

Solution:

#### Step 1: Understand the Problem
- There are five raffle tickets in total.
- Each ticket has the same set of prizes listed:
- First Prize: A brand new card
- Second Prize: A toy truck
- Third Prize: Nothing at all
- Since the prizes are listed on each ticket, the outcome of winning a prize depends on which ticket is drawn and how the prizes are distributed.

#### Step 2: Analyze the Prizes
- First Prize: A brand new card
- Second Prize: A toy truck
- Third Prize: Nothing at all

Since the problem does not specify how many of each prize will be awarded or how the prizes are distributed among the tickets, we assume that:
- Only one prize per ticket will be awarded.
- The distribution of prizes is random and fair.

#### Step 3: Calculate the Probability of Winning Each Prize
To calculate the probability of winning each prize, we need to consider the following:
1. Total number of tickets: 5
2. Number of tickets that can win each prize: Since the problem does not specify otherwise, we assume that each prize can be won by exactly one ticket.

##### Case 1: Probability of Winning the First Prize (A Brand New Card)
- Only one ticket can win the first prize.
- Therefore, the probability of winning the first prize is:
\[
P(\text{First Prize}) = \frac{\text{Number of tickets that win the first prize}}{\text{Total number of tickets}} = \frac{1}{5}
\]

##### Case 2: Probability of Winning the Second Prize (A Toy Truck)
- Only one ticket can win the second prize.
- Therefore, the probability of winning the second prize is:
\[
P(\text{Second Prize}) = \frac{\text{Number of tickets that win the second prize}}{\text{Total number of tickets}} = \frac{1}{5}
\]

##### Case 3: Probability of Winning the Third Prize (Nothing at all)
- Only one ticket can win the third prize (i.e., receive nothing).
- Therefore, the probability of winning the third prize is:
\[
P(\text{Third Prize}) = \frac{\text{Number of tickets that win the third prize}}{\text{Total number of tickets}} = \frac{1}{5}
\]

#### Step 4: Verify the Total Probability
The sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes should equal 1:
\[
P(\text{First Prize}) + P(\text{Second Prize}) + P(\text{Third Prize}) = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{3}{5}
\]
This indicates that only three out of the five tickets will win a prize, and the remaining two tickets will not win anything. However, since the problem specifies "nothing at all" as a prize, we can conclude that the remaining two tickets are part of the "nothing at all" category.

#### Step 5: Final Answer
The probabilities of winning each prize are:
- Probability of winning the First Prize (A Brand New Card): \(\frac{1}{5}\)
- Probability of winning the Second Prize (A Toy Truck): \(\frac{1}{5}\)
- Probability of winning the Third Prize (Nothing at all): \(\frac{3}{5}\)

Thus, the final answer is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{3}{5}}
\]
