Does anyone ever win the million dollars in McDonalds monopoly game for getting the park place and boardwalk pieces? And if so, why don’t they promote the names of the winners?

Darn, I wanted to use a line about the Hamburglar but your article beat me to it.

Thanks for the link though. I rarely ever eat there but I’ve been a (relatively happy) stockholder for a number of years but I never knew about the inside fraud. Actually a rather fascinating story.
