McMillion$

The McDonald's Monopoly game scam of the 1990s was a large-scale fraud involving a security officer who orchestrated a scheme to defraud the fast-food chain of millions of dollars in prizes. The individual, who worked as a security officer for a company contracted by McDonald's, exploited his position to steal game pieces and manipulate the system to claim high-value prizes. The scam involved the use of stolen game pieces, which were used to win expensive items such as cars, cash, and electronics. The fraud was uncovered by the FBI, who investigated the case and ultimately arrested the security officer. Several individuals who had won prizes through the scam were also interviewed by authorities, providing firsthand accounts of how the scheme operated and how they were drawn into it. The case highlighted vulnerabilities in the security and oversight of promotional games and led to changes in how such promotions were managed by McDonald's and other companies.
