A Tim Hortons contest mix-up has left customers devastated after an incorrect email congratulated them for winning a fishing boat worth $55,000. The error affected approximately 500,000 customers across Canada, who received the exciting email on Wednesday morning. However, Tim Hortons later apologized, blaming a ‘human error’ for the mistake. The company confirmed that any actual prizes won would have been revealed instantly during gameplay, and the winning boat would have undergone additional verification. A proposed class-action lawsuit has been launched, claiming damages including $10,000 in punitive damages.
