jpim,
You really need to read the transcript on that lawsuit. I, like everyone else, thought duh, when I first heard about it on the radio then I found the trial transcript online. She suffered 3rd degree burns and the coffee was 180F degrees, most water heaters in the US are not set above 120F so you don't get scalded. Other customers had complained often to the store that the coffee was way to hot. Their excuse was, we do that for people to want to take it all the way to the office before drinking it. They thought nothing of the people that wanted to drink it then. It is a very interesting case. After reading it I thought she had every reason in the world to sue McDonald's and if you read it I think you will see why she won. Even though they reduced her winning to a much smaller amount when McDonald's appealed.
As far as the original question, they may give you the numbers but until they fork over half the cash to play you owe them nothing. Holding up your end of the bargain with the car should be all you are entitled to give, since you said you would. People can spit out numbers for you to play all day and that can be fun, but if they are not paying to play, what can they expect in return?
