SIMI’S LOSER AND WINNER OF THE DAY

Loser

NYPD

The New York Police Department posted restricted parking signs for Sunday in the Inwood neighborhood of Manhattan

A total of 30 vehicles were towed but people were not charged fines, NYPD said

The 'no parking' order was put in place to save space for a NYPD flag football game

Residents called the commandeering of the street parking placard abuse.

Winner

Donelan Andrews, a high school teacher from Florida

Donelan Andrews was reading the small print in the $400 travel insurance policy she bought from St. Petersburg-based Squaremouth when she noticed an interesting clause, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

On page 7 of the nearly 4,000-word document for the Tin Leg policy she bought, Andrews, 59, noticed a section titled “pays to read.” It was well worth the read, the newspaper reported.

According to the newspaper, the terms read, “In an effort to highlight the importance of reviewing policy documents, we launched Pays to Read, a contest that rewards the individual who reads their policy information from start to finish. If you are reading this within the contest period ... and are the first to contact us, you may be awarded the Pays to Read contest Grand Prize of ten thousand dollars.”

The policy listed an email address to contact the prize, which Andrews did immediately, the Times reported. She received a telephone call the next day and learned she was $10,000 richer.

Squaremouth had begun the promotion the day before Andrews discovered the clause. The company had intended to donate the $10,000 to charity if no one had claimed it within a year, the newspaper reported.
