A lid for a cup having a rim has a first component having a sip opening, the sip opening being located on the first component so as to be adjacent the rim of the cup when the lid is mounted on the cup. The lid further includes a second component having an edge defining at least a portion of a spill opening, the spill opening being spaced from the sip opening substantially along a line corresponding to a diameter of the rim of the cup when the lid is mounted on the cup. The lid still further includes a spillover chamber connected to the second component so as to receive liquid from within the cup through the spill opening when the cup is tipped toward the second position, the spillover chamber being outside of the cup when the lid is mounted on the cup. Finally, the lid includes a transfer structure providing a path to transfer liquid from the spillover chamber to the sip opening when the cup is tipped toward the sip opening, and a barrier to prevent transfer of liquid from within the cup to the sip opening without passing through the spillover chamber in any tipping position of the cup.
