A form of cheating!

[3offTheTee]

Ok we would never write a 4 on our card when it should be a 5 as it is cheating.

However the twin in The US who hit the puck througn a31/2 inch gap to win $50,000 only for the entry to be in his twin's name.

The father advised the organisers and they forfeited the prize. What would you have done and on the basis you would have conveniently forgotten what is the difference between the 1st scenario and this one?

Is this fair game?

Sorry guys if I did not express myself clearly.

Basically I wa ssaying if your kid had won $50,000 and it was his brother's ticket and wa stherefore not entitled to the money would you have been as honest as the guy in The States? or Fair game!

I think it's a bit harsh. Given the publicity this has got, they could have honoured the prize.

for $50,000 I'd have chanced my luck.

for £50 in pro shop vouchers, I'd rather take the moral high-ground.

 

[RobbOnTheRock]

Yeah, the company should have honoured the prize.

The publicity for the once in a lifetime shot AND the publicity for honesty/not paying out etc is worth loads to them so I agree they legally don't pay but as well as the charity donation I think they should kit out the boys in the best gear, plus their team etc etc you can't pay for that kind of marketing opportunity.
