When you win something you want to show your prize off- listen, we get it. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to be sure that you claim the prize before telling people that you’ve won it. This poor lady from Newfoundland learned that the hard way.
Margaret Coward of Conception Bay South, N.L. had been fortunate enough to win a $100 gift card from Timmies! Naturally, to celebrate she posted her cup on Facebook for all to see. Sadly, this is where things went wrong.
Some sneaky son of a gun grabbed the code off of her cup and claimed the $100 prize before she did! This is a classic case of “you snooze you lose”. It’s also a classic case of “you’re a d*ck, bro”.
Margaret isn’t the first to post her winnings on social media, however. She would like to issue a public warning to everyone: “You always need to be careful of what you’re posting and taking pictures of.”
Sorry to hear about your loss, Margaret. And to the Tim Hortons Gift Card Bandit..this one’s for you.
