Roll Up the Rim to Win comes at a very bad time for me: right in the middle of exams and paper-writing. So right at the time of year when I'm sleeping odd hours and trying to frantically get as much work done as I can, there is a pseudo-gambling contest going on that involves coffee. It is a perfect storm. That is why I drank 56 cups of Tim Horton's coffee while the promotion was going on.
My final score was 9 wins: 8 free coffees and 1 free donut. The published odds of winning a prize are 1 in 9, and I bettered that, with 1 in every 6.2 cups being a winner for me. Now I'm trying my best to scale way back.

Haha good luck with scaling back.
Scaling back on Timmy's, not coffee generally. I'm making more coffee at home, that's all.
I'm tempted to do some math here. Crazy! I barely noticed that Roll-up-the-Rim happened this year. I think I bought one coffee and forgot to roll up the rim (!), and then last week I bought another coffee and I was like "What?? It's over?"
