Pretty much everyone has heard of that school in Montreal where some students' parents are fighting over a Tim Horton's cup. For those of you who don't know about it... here it is in a nutshell:
Teacher throws a Tim Hortons "Roll up the rim to win" cup in the garbage
Young student finds cup, has difficulty rolling up rim.
Student asks older friend for help.
The friend rolls up the rim, and the cup wins a car.
Now the parents of the two students are fighting over who owns the car.
Anyways, I was home today from University today because my neck seems to have spontaneously exploded, and I was watching The Price Is Right, and there was a this "breaking news" thing saying that two people down in the states are fighting over a winning lottery ticket. Apparently, one of the two neighbours were going out shopping, and asked the other if they wanted them to pick anything up for them while they were out. She was like "nah, just a lotto ticket." So anyways, the neighbour went out and bought two lotto tickets (one for each of them) and gave one to her friend. Then one of the women (not sure which one) had a winning ticket, and now the other says that she should split it with her because she could have just as easily had that ticket instead, and it may possibly have been her dollar that paid for that particular ticket.
Oh my, people are so complainy. So many "what if"s, "maybe"s, and "should've"s... I always thought the lottery was supposed to be just random luck.
