Or stupidity; it's either one or the other.
I read an article in the paper about a woman who's sueing a lottery for emotional damage for not winning a prize.
Let me explain. We have a lottery here in the Netherlands, called the Postcode Loterij, and it's based on your zipcode. It's quite simple; buy one or more lottery tickets connected to your zipcode and you're playing. You need these tickets to actually receive any money in case a prize falls to your zipcode.
Well, there is a woman who sued the Postcode Loterij, because a €13.9 million prize fell on her zipcode. However, she didn't have any lottery tickets (on purpose, mind you).
Now she claims to be emotionally scarred for not being able to claim her share of said €13.9 million.
Is this woman stupid or not? The case goes to court on January 10; I hope the judge is sensible enough to not only reject her claim, but also fine her for wasting the court's time.
Cheers, K.
