Roll Up the Rim...to Win?

Has anyone noticed that Tim Horton's annual "Roll Up the Rim To Win" promotion seems to be lacking the "Win" portion of the promo.

I recall when this first launched I guess 10 years ago now..I would win something on every 2nd or 3rd coffee. Each year my winning has gotten progressively worse. Finally this year Michelle and I are a combined 0 for 12 during the first 10 days of the promotion. Not even one cookie!! I'm getting bitter and every time I lose and let out a sarcastic remark as I toss the cup in the trash.

I have a theory that is based on the fact that I seem to win more often when I'm in small towns (like Kingston). I wonder if Tim Hortons considers those a stronger growth market than downtown Toronto and therefore send more winning cups to those destinations. Seems to make sense? Either that or Dave Thomas and the Wendy's corporate machine is taking it to us loyal coffee drinkers.

Anyone else notice this?

Well the odds of winning a deep fried, sugar coated doughnut are 1 in 9 so you're due for win any time now. I know this because what else is there to do while you wait for the culinary masterchefs to scoop out your breadbowl and fill it with chili, other than read the poster of official rules and regulations for the rrroll up the rrrim to win contest. wow what a runon sentence. anyway, bonne chance!

Michelle and I are now running a combined 0 for 25 at Tim Hortons. I should stop tracking this since it's making me realize how much money we waste there.
