#183 - McDonald's Monopoly Scam (And How It's Coming Back)

McDonald’s Monopoly is one of the most famous fast-food promotions in history—but did you know it was once at the center of a $24 million scam? In this episode, we dive into the full story: how the game began in the late 80s, the rules that made it so addictive, and how an insider rigged the system for over a decade. We’ll cover how the FBI finally shut it down, what happened to the game afterward, and the new safeguards McDonald’s has in place to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself. Plus, we look at when the game is set to return and how it works today.
