    Monopoly at Mickie D's started October 4th

    Does anyone actually win at this game?

    The company running the promotion for McD (rather, people working for that company) were stealing all of the big prizes & sharing them with their friends. None of the big ones made it to actual McD customers. It was a public relations nightmare for them. They attempted to make up for it by going to random McD resturants & awarding $1m prizes to customers right on the spot, if I remember correctly. Here's a little info: http://www.licenseenews.com/news/news68.html

    Last night at around 10:45 PM I got a hamburger and I see two employees scratching the little cards (lots of them). One exclaimed:" I think I've got a winner".

    I guess if I worked at McDonalds, I would do the same thing. But I was wondering if this is going on nationwide?

    I don't think they'll ever recover or have as many sales as before. I personally think that the employees will try to find winners (they don't scratch to see the prizes, it's a peel and win btw) which is still random, however I think the stigma that it's still rigged has died down.
