    In a way, this makes those lucky recipients the "pubic heirs" of that money.

    Another disappointingly badly-written BBC article.

    For months, some 4 million yen ($32,750) has been found in men's rooms from the northern island of Hokkaido to the southern island of Okinawa.
    What exactly does that mean? People have been finding 4 million yen every day for months? People have been leaving 4 million yen in the men's rooms for months? The same men's rooms, or different ones?

    At a guess, I assume that they mean "over the course of several months, a total sum of 4 million yen has been found in small donations in various men's rooms." But the article is so brief and ambiguously-written that after reading the whole thing I don't actually know.

    Actually it was a US T.V. Show. (Amazing Race, in which participants dig up a mound of turd to find the clue to get 1 MILLION dollars)
