Maybe that wacky, kind-hearted insurance company owner made an extra $10,000 that month so he wanted to give it away to a lucky customer.

Not a simple lucky, but highly lucky.

So, that ‘lucky’ person is ought to do something different that others find terrible. The owner struck with an idea of hiding that reward money in their policy T&Cs, which I and most probably you don’t read.

Hands down. I have no doubts in saying it. A social experiment by ProPrivacy found that only 1% of people actually read the terms and conditions. However, not many admit it. 70% of people surveyed lied claiming they read the agreement with 33% claiming to have read it thoroughly.

Let me first reveal who that lucky person is, before we go into the details.

A Georgian high school teacher — Donelan Andrews
