Just Jack Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 How many Big Mac® Sandwiches does it take to win in McDonald's® 2010 Monopoly® game? Select the prize in the drop down box and it'll calculate the money, and nutrion values you would eat to get that prize based on the odds of winning said prize. For example.... Calculating based on your odds of 1 in 405... You ate 121 Big Mac sandwiches to win: Redbox® One (1) Night DVD Rental. Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just go to the grocery store and pay the buck?

boyst Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) There is a site I freequent full of anonymous people who post various things. One thread was discussed on this, and while it is anonymous you can argue that it cannot be taken seriously, but I had read similar stories on this. The thread was workplace secrets and they're always fun. The high dollar prize pieces are distributed directly to McD's corporate from the printer. These pieces are printed in a highly secure area, than the suits distribute these themselves various stores randomly without warning. They will walk in and are usually noticable, in suits often with a camera crew in a van parked in the lot. They walk in and will strategically drop the pieces in to the rotation randomly within 2 minutes of arrival to keep employees from alerting friends to come in and buy things. If you remember a few years ago the issue was that employees would get family members and friends to come in and buy items while the suits were in and that can still be done. They get it right out there faster now to avoid this but it is still possible. It's all a work. Edited October 19, 2010 by jboyst62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
