Darwin Olympics: Woman Sues Lotto Because Winning Is Too Hard

Meanwhile in Canada . . .

One woman realized it’s just too hard to make any money by playing the lottery, so she tried a different strategy – – she SUED the lottery!

Martha Karras of Quebec, Canada filed a class-action lawsuit against Quebec’s lottery, citing it was never made clear just how difficult it would be to win.

For someone who admitted to playing the lotto for the past 20 years, Martha should have known the odds of winning actually WERE printed on every ticket.

A fact that helped the judge make the decision to throw out Martha’s case.

This big hand-to-forehead-d’oh moment is what makes Martha today’s winner in our Darwin Olympics.
