Uncle Jerry Pennybags - The McDonald's Monopoly Scandal
Description
Since 1987, the McDonald’s Monopoly game has given customers the opportunity to win cash and prizes for feasting on Big Macs and fries. What fans of the golden arches didn’t realize is that the game was rigged all along. How did a man named “Uncle Jerry” gain control of and distribute all of the major prizes? And since he was convicted in 2001, why are we just now realizing that we were all victims of this scam? This is True Crimecast.
