How a Man Robbed McDonald's for $24 Million, Without Anyone Realizing It

McDonald’s and Monopoly joined forces to become the McDonald’s Monopoly promotion. But, unfortunately for customers, the game they were playing was rigged from the start.
This is the story of how one man saw an opportunity and took it. Effectively stealing millions of dollars from unsuspecting public in the process.

How can Mcdonalds be that rich and still want to scam ppl like atleast give Canadians a chance

[@patrickm2912]

Canadians already get free healthcare. They don't need to win a lottery to get life saving surgery 😒😒

[@cameroncole06]

​@@patrickm2912True

[@craigpardy6204]

Did you watch the episode? It wasn't mickeyD..

[@retrotimegames9531]

​@@patrickm2912 Healthcare is never free, we pay for it with higher taxes.

[@7996hobguy]

​@@retrotimegames9531 I pay high taxes and high healthcare costs.

[@rexlint2520]

It's only going to take Uncle Jerry 33,783 years and 8 months to repay that money. Then he can finally retire 😂😂😂😂

[@rustyneuron]

I hear the reason Uncle Jerry only got 3 years was because he had a "Get out of Jail Free Card".

[@Joe-lb8qn]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JakeTapeWallets]

All I heard was he sent a million dollar ticket to Saint Jude’s Cancer Hospital. That’s a stand up guy.

[@Josh-vw3yl]

Robin Hood

[@Joe-lb8qn]

That was the first Million $ because he was too nervous to cash it in and had no way at that time to do so

[@chrishansesn8157]

Would rather throw money away then send to saint Jude they literally are billionaires who launder their money search it up

[@HerbaMachina]

Real question though is why have Canadians not got a class action lawsuit against McDonald's, seems like they owe Canadians probably 100s if not thousands each for just straight up fraud with the monopoly game.

[@YO_Original]

All of us that played.

[@Joeytheknife905]

For real tho , my family been playing that shit since i was a kid , i was buying the last few years also thats brutal i feel robbed

[@abdullaal-rumaihi8418]

Maybe McDonald's said they were sorry? 😢 And Canda forgave them.

[@hk-bp5ku]

Shame on McDonald. Everybody got what they deserved except all the Canadian winners that got ripped off by the company!

[@georgecarlinn6288]

Now why blame Americans as they are smarter than Canadians

[@AspiePilo82]

They ripped everyone off. Rarely any1 would win the big prizes.

[@TravellerZasha]

Being Canadian myself I can't believe i'd been scammed of this lie like I know it's Mcdonald's but still really? When it's Monopoly season imma try to avoid Mcdonald's at all costs.

[@georgecarlinn6288]

Come on now, just eat and leave, this is nothing compared to what Pepsi did to Filipinos philipines sent whole country in mad scamble for bottle caps

[@KnowAviation]

My parents owned franchises, at one of their locations a customer won a Corvette.

[@eerieeric834]

I heard about this guy. They made a whole documentary about him and what he did.

[@Jeromeromesheltonrecordspolice]

On Netflix

[@SnarkNSass]

Shipped to him by mistake??? 😂 It's a set-up 🎉

[@jackrichards1863]

Yes. It sure was. The mobsters prolly own McDonald's and decided to play a monopoly on old Jerr.

THE FRIES THEY SHOW ON PHOTOS IN THEIR STORES IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT YOU GET...IS THAT FRAUD?

[@rockerjim8045]

no products from mcdonald’s could be classed as food

[@-Maiq_the_Liar-]

This sounds like a heist from gta or something like that.

[@Misshughestrm]

All those years of buying hash browns just for the monopoly pieces. .. this guy

[@blakeuurainen6045]

Always had park place, never heard of anyone getting a boardwalk...

[@user-rk4dm8nz2n]

the fact that it was made in the era of the bite of 87.

[@SidewaysInTraffic]

So I'm guessing he made 12.5M off the scam and only had to do 3 years. I got caught stealing 2 packs of $500 lottery scratchers and did 5 months LOL.

[@FNCMontragor]

You stole lottery scratchers? That's not very smart is it?

[@7996hobguy]

Well there's your problem, you stole from the government. Only politicians get to do that.

[@georgecarlinn6288]

But as compensation you must have enjoyed prison shower episodes

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

Uncle Jerry is an insult to all uncle, haiyah!!! - Uncle Roger

[@UnoDoseMedia]

3 years are f-ing kidding me? That's it!

[@Tammissa]

3 yrs? That’s it? Every single false winner should have lost everything they won. Plus jail time.

[@FNCMontragor]

For what? Nvm you Vegan you don't need to answer that

[@adamthrift2525]

Why? It's McDonald's that's in the wrong here let's play a game where you can win a home, vacation, car oh we locked those up so no one can win what a scam uncle Jerry turned a McDonald's scam back into a more of a fair game the only fraud I see is McDonald's

[@Kaboomboo]

Jerry got 3 years. In sure the false winners also had to pay restitution.

[@AspiePilo82]

Jerry was Robinhood. The real crooks here were McDonalds.

[@inutero10]

Paulie walnuts needed that money for his long range plannin

[@j.t.1215]

Sounds like Atomic Shrimp narrated this😂

[@Kinglioncrown]

McDonald's is still winning though

[@beterbomen]

Is there a movie of this? There should be.

[@fmoy8470]

6 part programme on Sky TV

[@ATXL2448]

Why is it unlisted

[@ajb7530]

I don't play the Macdonalds Monopoly game because it is a scamm either way. The chances of winning big are slim to none. You better off investing the money you spend at Macdonalds, and you have a higher chance of making better income.

[@Joe-lb8qn]

In one respect he didnt rob McDonalds he robbed their customers since they paid out irrespective. One other thing I'm not sure McD ever picked up on, didnt they realise an unreasonably % of the very high value prizes were claimed? Statistically there should have been many that were not claimed. So to contradict myself in that respect I suppose he did rob McD by making all their prizes pay out when you would expect some to end up in the trash.

[@sergeantpeppers8858]

Poor odl Uncle Jerry. He'll be paying restitution for a little over 2,815 years. Unless they add interest. Then he'll never get what he owes paid off. But dang if he wasn't livin large while it lasted.

[@adamthrift2525]

Wait so uncle Jerry goes to prison for fraud the" fraud"wouldn't have happened if McDonald's wasn't scamming and playing the game fair which should have been happening in the 1st place giving everyone at least an actual chance if McDonald's is scared of someone winning money, boat,car, house, vacation.... Don't put it as a prize

[@That1Fu]

3 years ain’t sh!t !!

[@adamthrift2525]

Uncle Jerry dosent deserve his jail time McDonald's was scamming everyone cause there's afraid of us getting the big prize

[@Freedom_nesting]

McDonald’s was so lucky here .. my grand mother fell into a hole in their parking like 20 years ago.. she could have became rich and did nothing about it because she didn’t knew she could ..

[@retro9173]

3 yrs?? The judge might as well add a mandatory part time employment at McD's as a worker near his area of residency until 10% of what he owes is paid ..
