And? What's your point?
I've found this story interesting, it shows that each time there is a possibility to exploit an opportunity like that it will be exploited, the greed and lack of consideration for other people will prevail.
Imagine a reverse situation: a man buys this lifetime ticket and dies in a car accident a month later.
Do you think the company would return the money to the grieving relatives or they would exploit this opportunity with typical greed and lack of consideration for other people and keep the money?
I found the headline interesting and then on following the link realized I'd read it already. So it would have been nice to have a (2012) so I could've realized it was a repeat sooner.
It is a repost, though. I've seen this posted before various places over the years. I'm not really interested in old content I've read multiple times before.
