Friday Chuckle: A 0.0003% Chance

The Tim Hortons Roll Up the Rim to Win contest is back on again and I thought I'd see what my chances are to win the Coleman prize pack. Tim Hortons says there are 285,854,400 cups created for this contest with 148,148,000 circulating in Ontario. Only 1,000 cups have the winning Coleman prize pack which means there are about 518 in Ontario and therefore I have less than a 0.0003% chance of winning it.

What's a camper to do? Which Tim Hortons should I go to in Ontario for my best chance of winning? I don't even drink coffee. I decided to try the most direct method possible... mailing them.

Under the "No purchase necessary" section of the rules, you can request one cup per letter you send them as long as you request it before April 27th. Here's hoping.....

Time Passes.... some of the prize packs are claimed...

About a week after I originally sent the letter, my cup shows up in the mail!

Drum roll.....

Phooey!
