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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

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 😔

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.

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.

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

@@Lahnmohr that's so offensive, I'd punch em in the mouth!

Acme?

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.

Right, they even paid out the winnings almost twice! But although security, the system, and validating the winner was up to Simon Marketing, McDonald's was the contractant so of course it would have the *incentive* to ensure fair play. That said, "The McDonald's Monopoly Scam" sounds like it was McDonald's scamming people when in reality it was Mcdonald's (and the people) who were scammed.

I remember how they dealt with the missing prize money. I wish i had been in a store when they were giving away money

Yep, the title is super-misleading. The game is absolutely not a "scam."

@@tumetal to be fair, they could've made better system of protection. One that won't allow peeking into tickets beforehand, but still able to track counters of winnings. Like batches of 1000-1'000'000 tickets each. Each ticket have batch number, date and prize written on ticket and covered with antitamper, non see through seal on top. Maybe also barcode for big winnings? Then database tracks that there is that much of winners for each prize in that batch and logs it on server. After that several batches get mix up. And defined number of tickets from them gets delivered to each McD. It will prevent people from separating worth tickets from unworth ones (especially as they don't know which ones are good value ones within batch). As well as rerolls for big prizes to get them in any specific place. When there is winner for noticable prize, ticket gets checked through batch, date or barcode on amount of claim repeats. That will prevent completely faking tickets, claiming duplicate tickets, as well as making random ticket impersonate higher value one through sorts of corruption...

Nah, they are culpable on the relolling Canada bit. I expect a class action lawsuit or some sort of punishment from Canadian regulators that regulate prizes/lotteries in Canada. If they are advertising a prize they must give equal and fair chance. If not they or their reps are in violation of the law and at the very least guilty of false advertising. Yes it can be argued that "someone else did it" but it's still their responsibility as the sweepstakes sponsor.

@@grahamhill676 if you're employed by McDonald's at any level, you can't participate in the game, can't speak for others who do take them but there's little incentive for that much risk to steal those stickers and the free food isn't "free", you've already spent a bunch of money on food. Employees get half off and employers still make profits on their meals so when you buy a bunch of food at regular price then your "free" food has already been paid

@@helixmusic4279 You don't get free food on your breaks? We do in the UK, and whilst we can't partake in the game officially, there's nothing stopping us from peeling off our stickers and giving them to friends and family, which is what we all do here. The big prizes are quite clearly lies, because staff who have got like 4 or 5 stickers a day 5 days a week (multiply this by thousands of employees...) don't get any winning stickers. It's quite clearly a farce.

@@grahamhill676 I'm in Canada and no, we don't get free food on our breaks, not outright anyways as it's usually up to a decent manager going out their way to reward their crew. As far as my partner and I've experienced here as we've both worked at McDonald's at different times qnd places, managers here peel off the stickers on employee meals bought on work hours but not if you come through on your own time and that's from corporate so...

@@helixmusic4279 Yikes. We have a point system for breaks...So we can have a small meal. Kinda shit you guys don't get that as I assumed this was the norm.

Thats actually another scamm and theres a doc uploaded about it too 😁

@@Mickey_Valentine I'd love to see Kira do a video on that. Leonard French ("lawful masses" on youtube) has a few videos about it too.

the company contracted to maintain the machine, refuses to upgrade the tech, because it would lead to less maintenance.

@@VentDeux most lift companies especially in europe where theres only two or three major controlling their own market operate in similar way .... Get gigantic contracts -> ensure that maintenance is faulty so you keep sending invoices ..... Its a "better" bussiness model than keeping things running smoothly forever :)

Sado 😅😅 fs u serious 😅

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.

Definitely get your blood work done too after that

@@stevejohnson978 Way ahead of yah 😂

I've gotten free drinks,fries &/or sandwiches from playing the monopoly game & i only went to one mcdonalds a few times

@@oldoutlet6946 I'm gonna gamble now because you said that :D

I’ve won food prizes at different McDonald’s locations in Canada before but nothing bigger. Sometimes I would get free fries or a free drink
