Day after day I perform my Canadian duty and savor a Tim Hortons coffee. Feeling like Charlie looking for that golden ticket, I roll up the rim with shaking hands (that’s the coffee kicking in…ahhhh)… > [@](#): > > PLEASE PLAY AGAIN/RÉESAYEZ S.V.P. Sigh, another loser. I havn’t won a thing so far this year. Last year I won a cookie. yippee… What about you, my fellow Canucks? Did you win that elusive donut this year? How about one of the big prizes in years past? ---

My very first RUTR coffee, on the very first day of the sacred event, a coffee bought for me by a co-worker…and I won a muffin. The torn rim is still sitting here on my desk. I don’t really care for muffins. I’ve always wanted to give a winning tab to someone who asked me for change…I really should. ---

You’re saying it wrong. It’s RRRRoll up the RRRRim to win! 😃 I won a muffin and a cup of coffee one year. That was it. ---

During the '99 to '01 RUTRTW seasons, I won on about 2/3 of the rims! My best was getting about 7 free coffees in a row. I am the queen of small scale luck - scratch & win lotto tickets? I win a free ticket or $2 - $10 almost every time. If only I could translate those into bigger prizes… Mr. Gretchen, however, has never once won ANYTHING on RUTR. He refuses to believe that there are actual winning cups!😛 ---
