I saw this (its in danish) article earlier today, about a danish garbageman (dunno what they're called in english.. the ones that pick up your garbage and takes it to recycling/burning/what not).. One his route he found a lotto coupon outside a house, but because he was such a loving and caring person he just put it back in front of the door..

Next day it turned out it was a winner and the coupon was worth £1.01 million!!
The garbageman told the news paper that he couldn't have used the money anyways, atleast not with a good conscience..
The original owner of the coupon showed his everlasting gratitude by giving the garbageman 4 bottles of wine, 1 box og chocolate and £91..

Personally Id feel pretty damn stupid if I found a coupon that turned out to be that much worth, but meh.. the Garbageman now carries the title: 'Most honest garbageman of Denmark'.. Im sure he's happy..

well I hope he declared his earnings as although the lottery is tax exempt the bin mans winnings are not, he needs to also declare the chocolates and wine and these are taxable at there 2nd hand value.... I trust you will ensure that this is so...:woot2:

'Sup with the £91?:eyebrow:

Seriously though, I couldn't live with myself if I were that garbage man. All that lovely money... :rolleyes:

Personally, I'd feel pretty darn stupid if that was all I rewarded the man that gave me back my £1.01 million lottery ticket :sideways:

And also, don't think I would have felt good with myself if I claimed the prize for somebody else's coupon - at least if I found it just outside their house or something similar, and there were no doubt who the owner was.
