McDonalds monopoly scam

Ok, you may or not have heard about this or not but...The monoploy game that mcdonalds was doing was pretty much a scam, someone had relized that NO ONE in this world won a damn thing except those stupid breakfast sandwich tickets. So he called them out and it was true they fucked us over. So now here is what they say about it, this is all quoted mind you.

"Dear McDonalds's Customers:

Your confidence has and always will be our highest priority. At McDonalds we let nothing stand between us and our customers, which is why we were outraged when the FBI told us that a suspected criminal ring allegedlly stole millions of dollars worth of top prizes in our McDonald's games."

Bullshit! these bastards want our trust and yet they lie to us about this. now they offer us a chance to win part of a 10 million dollar prize pool. i spent so much damn money everyday going there buying 2 med fries and large coke sometimes two or three times a day. I seriously have 18 of that damn st charles place tickets. did anyone win all three of something? I better win some of this damn 10 million prize pool or im fuckin suing somebody.

So does anyone agree or am i out of my mind?

I read about this. It was the firm McDonalds hired that was screwing people out of the winnings. McDonalds still paid out the money - they didnt come out ahead because of this.

No, no deftonez24, your right to be pissed, I hate it when there's some sort of contest like that and you tried to win and you put time & Money into it and then you find out it is a scam.

They gave me a little flyer about it in the drive-thru the other day. I'll post it later if I still have it.
