Free money from McDonalds

**Loki** · 08-22-2001, 07:44 PM

Because of the monopoly scandal McDonalds is gonna make it up to the people

"During the five-day (Aug 30 through Sept 3) period, McDonald's will give away five $1 million prizes and 50 $100,000 prizes at randomly selected restaurants. " -CNN

yeah, but i'm not the one who goes inside em... i'm the one who sits at the table in relative peace n quiet for an hour sipping my coffee and reading my book while the one who doesn't care about the smells crawls around in em...

**Loki** · 08-23-2001, 02:18 PM

The smell gets soo bad sometimes that it exumes from the plastic making the food of anyone eating around it taste like poop...that's not to say that it may not have tasted like that to begin with

Thank goodness I'm not the only mom that does that! lol Give me a calm port in a storm of 10 screaming kids and I'll be plenty happy.

Keeps him out of my hair for 30 minutes anyway.

Those Hotwheels @ Mcdonalds right now are crap. Some monstertrucks or somthing. lame. Arrrrrghhh.

**flergum** · 08-24-2001, 07:44 AM

Yarf! The only problem is that you have to eat the food.

**ryan_self** · 08-24-2001, 07:54 AM

Personally, I go to McDonalds alot more often during the Monopoly game. I have emailed them letting them know I want some sort of coupon reimbursement because they were running a fraudulent game. I understand it wasn't necessarily their fault, but when you run a lottery gaming system with stated odds of winning that are not correct, thats fraudulent.

Be carful throwing around the F word there (fraud). They can prove they acted in good faith. That means it is not fraud. They can sue you for libel.

Dude, save me a spot.

**ZrEo0** · 08-24-2001, 05:14 PM

i can see one of you guys winning a game piece, then some bum mugging you

**TheLoneGunman** · 08-28-2001, 10:49 PM

I just read all the fine print and this new contest SUCKS!

50 people will win $100,000 and 5 will win $1,000,000

They just have a list (ex. 5:03pm in the 3rd line at the San Francisco McDonalds) and whoever is in that position is selected as the winner.

With > 55 metropolitan regions, there is likely only 1 possible prize in your area (ex. if they had 3 winners in NYC and none in LA, then people would claim cheating).

Here's all the details:

We must pillage and burn the contest people. "Take their list!" shall be our battle cry!

On Saturday a guy won in Holly Hill, FL. It was on the news here in Orlando and amazingly enough it was some poor guy that apparently him and his wife were homeless not to long ago. It's at least good to know that someone who REALLY needed the money did get a piece.
