"It was a game, and I lost" "You got any tickets?"

Shouldn't that photo be of the Hamburglar?

I always thought that McDonald's should run one cycle of the game where they print millions of Broadways and only one Park Place. It would be the ultimate troll.

So can i sue McDonald's for improper odds, due to it being rigged. Even without their knowledge?

NFL has already established a precedent at the Supreme Court; you won't win.

Guy in charge of protecting winning tickets stole winning tickets and sold them to random people, mostly from Jacksonville. Some other guy liked to make harassing phone calls while pretending to be Ronald McDonald. McDonald's hates Canada.

I remember that scandal well, but didn't know any of these details.

These people were all criminals, but what gets lost is that McDonald's defrauded Canadians as a corporate decision. The marketing people who made that call should also have gone to prison.

I thought that level of corporate fraud is much more deserving of the FBI's attention than the people stealing the winning pieces, but what do you expect, I guess.

Seems a little unclear who made that decision. The article mentions that it was Simon Marketing, not McD's, that made that call. Could have easily been under McD's orders, though.

Yeah, the marketing firm could have made the decision unilaterally. It's quite believable.
