I posted some time ago how I won "The European American Lottery". Millions and Millions.
Unfortunately for me. I never sent Mr. Tazinga in Nairobi the "Good Faith" deposit and bank account information needed to transfer my winnings.
Born to Lose, I guess.
Since I do not, repeat not, patronize McDonald's I never played their Monopoly Game.

For that reason and a few others I’m not now or in the past a McDonald’s person. Other than a .69 cents senior coffee, sit and read the tabloid and a free refill, or someone picks me up a breakfast biscuit. I don’t eat their food.

St. Pierre...a found in a dumpster homeless chihuahua, adopted by us....loved his McD patties and chicken nuggets. Being the dutiful and loving "dad" that I was I would go to the closest McD. and get him his "treasure"...the employees knew me as Pierre's father...hell of a thing...don't know me but knew my chihuahua..I guess he had scavenged dumpsters and trash cans to find food...he loved them. Would spread his food out around the bowl...reason? in case a bigger dog came around they would go for the food while he made his escape...smart lil feller. We cried for months when he passed.

I just cant eat at Captain Clowns anymore the quality of the food has slid to the bottom of the dumpster. While their executives keep changing the menu looking for lost market share someone should tell them the food sucks stupid. It must be cheaper to come up with gimmicks and fake contests to entice consumers rather than to just let the merits of a quality product speak for itself. Mickey Ya Ya is not the only franchise that plays the how low can the quality go game and only when a drastic loss of sales happens do they return briefly to putting out a quality product. I would rather eat food from a place with a unlevel floor and a creaky wooden screen door than any place with a giant light up sign sticking up in the air out front.

I also don't eat at the clowns house. If I have to the toothless wonder gets a cleaning. This also applies Jack's and the Kings houses.

I knew someone who knew how to game the system on McD's Monopoly. It's been forty some odd years, so I don't recall the details, but he did pretty well on it

Interesting. Where there’s that sort of money, there’s someone figuring out how to steal it.

For all the criticism of McDonalds in the thread, of you read the article, they spent millions in order to help the feds to nail the coffins on the bad actors.

I do remember when McDonalds had the promotion about the Olympics when America won the gold, you win... the Russians boycotted the olympics resulting in a lot of free meals.
And when I lived in California, they targeted Hispanics with free meal coupons... a neighbor kid told me. I cleaned out a lot of the free newspapers in the no cost paper machines... everyone at the local rescue mission ate for free.

An interesting article but I don’t understand why they all got off so easy. All of those involved should have gotten at least thirty years in prison without benefit of parole. I M H O.
