remember the issue last year , I think it was , where the kids found the cup in the garbage at school and they won a car and then the parents were fighting over who got the car.......

I recall a similar story!! The kids found it in the garbage,then the dude who threw it out without checking it, stated he was the rightful winner. Never did hear the outcome!! I think the kids got to keep it, but not sure.

yeah thats the one ........i think he was a teacher at their school.......i never heard the rest of the story either. seems i recall the 1st parent to the school was claiming ownership , like it was a race or something .

The little girl that found the cup in the garbage eventually ended up owning the cup. Her parents claimed the prize. They had at first intended on sharing with the other girl ( the one who rolled the rim as the little one who found it couldn't roll up the rim ) and her parents.

But when her parents tried to claim full ownership because she rolled the rim they decided to give nothing.

The teacher lost his claim because ownership is to that of the holder in Canada and since he tossed it and the kid was then the holder it was righfully her's.

He gave up ownership and entitlement when he threw it away. Wonder how he sleeps now lol lol

Not related to Tims----last yr in BC a group of A&W restaurant workers won the lottery, something like $15 million. The hiccup was that there were 1 or 2 that occasionally played, but during that weeks lottery, they didn't pay (thus play) so when the group won, those that had not paid, tried to lay claim to their share. Anyone hear the outcome of that? last I heard that the ones that did pay got their share, but it was based on as if everyone had payed. So, the unpaying peoples share was put into a court orderd trust, until it could be decided. Never did hear the verdict.

Yeah Flames last I heard that was going to be tied up in court and they wouldn't let the money be released to the winners.

The group had a Lawyer who in an interview played the Lortto 649 advertisement where they say" you can't win if you're not in". He was showing since the other few weren't in that draw the advertisement itself claims you can't win if not in

I haven't heard any thing more on it though

that's a load of #######!!!!

every time I hear of stories like that in Canada , which are a daily occurrence in the states I say to my hubby........when they talk about the Americanization of Canada the biggest shame is Canada's getting the worst ideas we have to offer. I sure hope it doesn't become a litigious epidemic there the way it is here. The frivolity of these lawsuits is sickening beyond belief and the legal system allows for it.I'd hate to see what I think of as a common sense pratical country go by the way of the self indulgent, commonsenseless American legal community.

anyway ............Ive wandered off onto a rant......who's got coffee?
