0/2 but I'm not sure they count--we bought them in the US, how unpatriotic of us! 
We drove back from NH after flying home Friday. Didn't even know they did the RutR in the US, but the prize distribution card was sitting there, all of the US outlets are about 1/3 volume of prizes of the Atlantic Canadian outlets!
I ordered one XL and one L and the XL was, like, HUGE. The clerk caught me looking amazed
and explained they have "one size up" in the US, the small is actually a medium and my large was an XL. Dh looked at his "XXL" and said if he won a car, it should be a stretch limo! 
They also had a promo donut that was called the "roll up the rim special" or something. Wondering if it's just a cross promotion there or if I should've gotten an extra game piece or something. (Not that I found anything like that.) Weird.
Oh, another weird coffee story. Driving down to catch our flight out of NH, we stopped at a rest stop that had Starbucks. I brought in our travel mugs and asked them to give 'em a rinse and fill. You'd think I'd handed them toxic waste. They couldn't handle our mugs at all. I had to rinse them in the bathroom (ick) and then he filled a big jug from the coffee pot, brought the big pot to the counter, and filled the mugs. (Without touching them, and made me put the top back on.) I had to ask, apparently it's some sort of hygiene program that they can't take customers' stuff off the front/cash counter. I said, "I'm from Canada and Tim Horton's will take my mug and rinse it out for me, then fill it!" Not very "green" I think!
