Here’s a story that CBC news has picked up, about a winning Tim Horton’s cup and the people who are currently fighting over it. The newest development — a DNA test on the cup.
A high-profile Quebec lawyer … said his client threw out the [specially marked paper] cup and should get the “Roll up the Rim” prize that is being fought over by two Montreal families.
Earlier this week, a 10-year-old girl found the unrolled cup in a garbage can in her school. She enlisted the help of a 12-year-old friend to roll up the cup’s rim. They discovered the cup was the winner of a $28,700 Toyota RAV 4.
“My client bought the cup and my client went in the school and there was only one cup in the garbage and another witness saw him with the cup.”
Archambault wants the cup tested for his client’s DNA and has formally asked Tim Hortons to keep the prize until this is settled.
