The McDonald's Monopoly Mafia - 10 Years of Lies 

Lmao that was hilarious

I read your comment OP, and nearly choked to death from laughter-turned-coughing fit. I think that SP probably heard about this court case, what with Jerry turning state's evidence on the best kind of leverage it is possible to have in this situation....

Couldn't be that hard to fake a grey m'n'm

They are required to

My thoughts exactly. I was like "Wait, there actually were winning tickets!?"

@@twlentwo they were also required to have some in Canada

@@twlentwo people are "required" to do a lot of things but dont.

Wow!. What a story. Glad it worked out.

Hahaa what a fool all over a thousand dollars which I imagine he would of earned in two weeks of working

Much like Google gift cards that never work

It’s nice to hear that someone actually won some money. We had no money growing up for extras like going to McD’s but my mom would wait until the Monopoly game came out and then we would go and we would actually want to win the food so we could go get it at other times. So my mom would save for that time of the year and then she would keep the winning food tickets for the fries and breakfast sandwiches and then it would be cheaper for us to go at other times. I think it’s really cool that your mom won the money. I’m really glad that she didn’t give her ticket to the shady manger.

McDonald’s employees, former employees, and relatives of McDonald’s employees are not allowed to cash out the pieces. He could’ve taken it from you, but there’s no way in hell he would’ve been able to cash it out himself. He would have had to conspire with a friend to cash it out

Like everything else ya see today, just pay off those whom are on to your scam

They where simultaneously paying for him to take 5 star trips and dinner and a pay raise. He was probably spending on a company account so it was normal

He had mob connections so laundering the money would be easy, plus he was Head Of Security would easy clear $100 000. They didn't know tickets were being stolen so no reason to suspect him

So companies should monitory their employees lifestyles?

​@flippy5118 absolutely. Lots of jobs have critical sensitive positions that require serious background checks and continuous monitoring. Often for high value efforts, life/safety, and high security needs. Think of banks, financial institutions, internet security/encryption organizations, transportation industries. If companies didn't look into their employees you'd be in a dangerous world full of scams, theft, and dangerous equipment + risk to your own safety. With as much money put in this guy's trust they should have had multiple levels of checks and multi person security. I get investigated every year for my work and need to report all finances and legal activity/travel.

Oh don't worry about that, there's plenty of stories out, I myself won an xbox, never got it coz it's all to drum up food sales

IKR? It’s the same with our public clearing house. We all know it’s a scam but I wonder if something similar is going on with them too, there was with the cola cap bottle prizes too

Honestly I only ever played to get free French fries on occasion and now I have a wheat allergy so I can't even go to McDonald's any more because of cross contamination so I guess I won't be supporting the franchise any more lmao

Complacency was McD's problem. I guess they keep an eye on things now.

I was a teenager in Canada at the time. I temporarily got foolishly addicted to the game and ate supersize meals every day for months. Bastards. Haven’t eaten that garbage for years.

Too many people watching the lottery from the feds to the state.

Moral of the story is always assume rich people are money laundering

😂😂

Bro, imagine being a Canadian and literally have zero chance from the very start.

It’s crazy because I actually convinced my family to stop trying to win this shit when I kept continually presenting a theory about how there was no final winning piece (if park place existed board walk didn’t and vice versa the next time) and my theory was that nobody would be able to prove that nobody was winning, McDonalds would just claim the winners didn’t want to be identified. But this is just wild, I don’t get how McDonalds never noticed they had a mole.

Seriously, a good part of my 90's childhood was a lie.

Same here. I had many friends that worked at Mcds in 90s and asked them all if they ever heard of big winnings and they'd never even of medium prize winners in Canada.

Same story.

This is basically how all lotteries make money.

I won the gameboy advance the year they discovered the problem. They sent me a second one.

when i was younger i was told of a woman winning a car and being denied the car also in australia also only she didnt sue or anything just kinda accepted they are liars

Because the FBI are criminals masquerading as crime fighters.

Probably the guy from 1999, and he was trying to cheat tbh

Ripping people off, is business as usual in the U.S. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 We were ok with Sea Monkeys, but not Established Titles. We are a fickle bunch 😂

I remember a story on TV about a village fete where one stall let you win a brand new Jaguar if you did something crazy (roll a 6 on 12 dice all at once or something). A nearby dealership donated the car just to have on the stand, never thinking anyone would win. A 10 year old kid rocked up 10 minutes later and got it first go.

Worked in 1997 - what you saw was nothing new and happened in our store too. I worked during Beanie Babies. It was...definitely interesting.

Ohh beanie babies god the flashbacks ¡¡¡

Worked at mcdees starting in 2009, and my first time dealing with monopoly...man you'd have thought dropping a monopoly cup was the same as shitting on gold. I understood the idea of "now we have to cut this cut up to make sure the pieces can be given to someone" later on, but this video put it in perspective for me more. Honestly, I didn't believe anyone ever actually won the millions, so I just thought "Who cares? It's all fake anyway".

I worked next to a McDonald's for a few years. It was a night shift and whenever I would go during monopoly the staff would have a roll of the stickers that they were peeling off.

Your manager lost their job, but got 10 free small fries and a cheeseburger.. which were essentially free under employment hahahahah

McDonald’s literally did 9/11 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I just love how a McDonald’s scam video turned into a 9/11 conspiracy lmao

@@Sc0rch91 it could be slightly true but uh. theres other better conspiracies :troll:

I feel like your comment comes word for word from another video on this.

I think everyone missed the point. Robbins was simply stating that 9/11 was such a monumental event that this scam got buried in the background. Nobody is dumb enough to think that McDonald’s perpetrated 9/11 to cover this up.

@@richardspillers6282 a few miles outside of Johnstown Pennsylvania. A mythical city in the eastern half of Pennsylvania that not only holds the worlds largest Incline Car Lift but was also almost completely destroyed in a flood 100 years ago after the damn broke. It's relation to the Mysterious Pittsburgh Clown Gang is unknown.

@@ErikN1982 I'm gonna have check that place out then.

Our little town Bar & Casino, playing a machine earning reward points which you could use for an EASY chance to win a free Prime Rib Dinner for 2 on Saturday nights (Starting 4PM until 10PM, or when Prime Rib is sold-out). That's strategic marketing. They won it by playing machines, get them in on one of the busiest days for dinner and most likely they'll put money back into the machines. Boom. Profit. Most likely outweighing the cost of that free Prime Rib Dinner. Look at layouts of major chain gas stations and grocery stores. If they can get you in the door, the impulse buying sales are ingrained already without the customer already knowing. Want a drink at a gas station? Want a gallon of milk or eggs at the grocery store? You have to walk all the way thru the store, passing all the impulse items. "Sure, I could use a bag of Doritos."

The McDonald's premise wasn't far off from this. No one was winning every single time, but it was not at all uncommon to win a small order of french fries of a medium drink to get you back there.

Same here, I was only ever into it for the free food and drinks.

Yea it was great in middle and early high school, even a free fries or soda (which obv turned into five) was worth the skate down to get it. Never won any "real" prizes or knew anyone that did, though our town was small back then so maybe they didn't send any of the good pieces here.

@@chlorophil545 yeah the best prize i ever won was a free bigmac. Knew something was up cuz i played all summer and nothing.

​@@michaell6807 One summer of playing and not winning cued you into them stealing the top prizes? I recommend not playing the lottery (to be fair this applies to everyone...)

Yeah same. I would win a free cheeseburger or a drink with almost every meal I purchased. Now I just get the same 5 monopoly property stickers all the time 😔

I'm lovin' this comment.

Right? I obviously knew about the McDonald's Monopoly game, but not this. Never know I wanted to hear this so bad.

Same

Macdonalds don't want to ruin their reputation. Too much at stake.

no one mentions the clown was he involved with this?

The biggest lovers are those who eat the mcdonalds.

Yeah, that was what confused me the most; throughout the video, I was wondering what that was all about, because I honestly just couldn't see any point to it. I mean, there's the "haha, Canadians are buying McDonalds for the contest when they don't have a chance to begin with!" angle. However, seems like plenty of them were figuring out that the contest was rigged against them, which probably ended up losing a fair few sales that they could've gotten just by sending a couple winning tickets up north.

yeah, screw Canada. 🤷‍♂

BLAME CANADA!

​@@dustinrausch5008 it was most likely for a few actual reasons that all come down to it being a cost cutting and ease of logistics measure. 1. Some laws and regulations governing the film industry in Canada differ in major ways from the laws and regulations that govern the film industry in the US. Major productions that film in both the US and Canada have problems dealing with this on a regular basis. it's in the news every now and then when it happens to some popular streaming show or something. Why deal with both sets of laws and regulations if you can just deal with one? The US was/is the bigger market, so if this is a reason why it was done, cutting out Canada is the obvious choice. 2. Dragging a wholeass film crew across the border would have been a pain compared to flying them around the country. If they're working in Canada filming something, they need to have employees with Canadian work visas specific to film, and the workers may even need to be locals depending on the regulations at the time. The marketing company probably would have needed to temp hire a whole Canadian team to go film a Canadian winner or keep one on standby in case a Canadian won... or even less realistically, know for certain that they would have been able to get work visas for all of their required filming personnel that either wouldn't expire for the entire contest duration or could be placed in a fastlane for approval when they are needed. If you've ever tried to get a work visa through a company, you know how long this actually takes, and it took even longer when it all had to be done via mail; most governments hadn't fully embraced the internet for things like visas until the late 2000s. It makes a certain amount of sense in this light. 3. On top of the Canadian tax and employment regulations, American tax and employment regulations would also require the marketing company to file more tax paperwork in the US as well as retain more archival data, which would have cost them extra money. Add more to that cost if they got visas for American employees to go abroad. Again, from a money and logistics standpoint, this totally makes sense as a reason to cut Canada out of the winnings they were contracted by McDonalds to have filmed.

Hey Chris, you cook a burger and get a bun, ketchup and mustard for cheaper than McDonalds. Make sure to add the costs of napkins, utility use and any clean up costs for utensils and pans being washed.

That's exactly the problem. The scam wasn't just stealing from McDonald's. They stole from consumers. It's a rigged raffle

Hey at least you had parents that tried. Some parents don't even care

Rope up 😅

It's funny when you think about it. They fought so they didn't have to pay $50k. Lost and had to pay $182K. Then there was the legal fees.

Yes big companies like McDonald's are snakes which was why I wasn't the least bother that they got scammed for a decade!

@@lesblase3667 hes a legend for telling you about a show thats existed for a while? lol ok

Then it’s the higher wage employee actually stealing it. 🥴

And that is not even needed, had they made the tickets properly. A serial number and keeping track of it would be enough. Even better... having each store have to "activate" each ticket received. So you now can easily see where each ticket is... and if a ticket isn't activated, it means it was stolen. The big prizes can even have an adicional layer of protection by only being able to activate on the stores the system selected for them. Seriously in 3 seconds I came up with a better system... give me 3 hours and I can improve ever further.

@@MateusAntonioBittencourt That's how it's usually done, and probably has been for almost as long as they've been able to track numbers on that scale. I assume they knew about it and rejected it because of the simple fact that it doesn't include watching minimum wage workers pee. Considering they didn't even have tamper proof sealing from the beginning, and didn't even track the seals when they finally got it, I think you spent more time thinking about it than they did

Gives me flashbacks of having to walk through metal detectors and spending 5of our 15 minute breaks being searched at Amazon warehouses😭😂

@@MateusAntonioBittencourt your ideas would increase the cost of each individual ticket by a seriously significant amount.

I kinda did the same thing. My friends and I would climb into the recycle dumpster in the Kmart parking lot and we'd go through a bunch of Sunday times papers because we found out that they put Monopoly pieces in them as a promotion.

Same 😅

Same. The free food prizes were always my favorite part. My mom and I used to collect them and eventually we'd have enough that we'd basically just get an entire free meal.

A free medium coffee was always my favourite prize.

But it is a lot of fun to dream too :) especially when you were a highschooler just treating yourself a bit :p

I seemed to always get free fries.

Prisons are full of people who just couldn't keep their mouths shut.

@@Robert08010 🤣

All these sort of competitions work that way. My friend works in the office at the main Walkers factory, and has seen where the top prizes get sent every time they have one of their instant win promotions. Not down to the individual shop but the distribution center meaning they know what city it will be in. They do this to ensure it goes somewhere different each time so it seems more fair to the customers. Also the one distribution center it will never go to is the one at the factory itself because then the prize would end up in the town that's full of Walkers employees, who can't claim it.

Yeah they just kinda glossed over that. Like wtf. It was probably never in poor neighborhoods either.

It's effing BS, in Australia I worked at one of the telco's and was in charge of graphic design. I was also in charge of generating code tickets so when a customer gets a contract, in-exchange they get a ticket. Was speaking with marketing and they said not to give certain stores winning tickets...... FUCKING BS

Well, they kind of have to do it that way when you think about it - these tickets could easily get lost or thrown away. I can’t fault them for not having $1 million tickets randomly mixed in with others. We’d like to think this is like Powerball, but McDonald’s just can’t have the controls in place to make a truly random system work.

Is that really a thing in America? McD's from where I am always have their ice cream machines working in top condition.

@SammEater maybe We just know that McDonalds is basically intentionally making it impossible for employees to figure out what is wrong with the machine so they can give favors to the supplier of said machines in the form of "repair fees" where they force each franchisee to spend some money hiring unneeded repairman for stuff they really could have done themselves

@@SammEater Yes pretty much. They "broken machines" were used as a way to have the only repair company allowed to work on them to make immense amount of money. The machines were never really broke.

Lol you actually thought a multi million dollar company was gonna give you a million for possibly only the price of a large drink loooool they aren’t gonna give you ten dollars let alone a million that’s like expecting more then a dollar raise you best be exited about that dollar cause it could be 10 cents every six months they don’t need to give you more then a 10 cent raise legally I’m pretty sure they legally never have to give you raises don’t ever think a company worth billions will ever care about you a single poor person you would have to be worth millions for them to care about you it’s only logical can’t stay rich and productive helping or teaching people you just bring in people that know what their doing that’ll make you money

@@kekoasiversons350 you didnt take a single breath, are you okay?

Unless you live in Canada, it's not really a scam.

@@LD-hy1ps If you go in with the mentality that you're supposed to win something, I'm sorry but you're stupid. You're buying McDonalds food. The tickets are just an extra and you think you're going to win anything special from it for doing absolutely nothing but buying food? The one and only time I went this year with my friends and I won 6 chicken McNuggets for free. Good enough for me, I got free food for doing absolutely nothing. It's bad if they don't have the prizes they actually claim but the chances of you even winning them is stupidly low, I don't know how you think just you and your friends will get something big when there are billions of visitors worldwide every month.

I heard back in high school there were 3 Boardwalks

Back in the late 00s, I remember I was missing one piece for something like $100,000. Can't remember the amount, but it was one of the bigger ones. And a few months later, when I told one of my closest friends about it while he was driving us out to pick up some pizzas to play some Halo, his eyes got huge. At the next stop light, he reached into his glove box, pulled out a little white envelope, and pulled out the pieces he had. Yep, we could have won the $100,000 and split it. Needless to say, we spent the rest of the day laughing, pondering what we would have done with the money, and being super disappointed.
