You should at least file a fraud report with the authorities against McDonaldвЂ™s corporation and make sure the public prosecutor investigate McDonald's criminal practices. You could opt for a class action lawsuit. You too can sue McDonaldвЂ™s in your country, whether it's worth it or not will depend on how many stickers you got. We are asking for the payment of what we should have won had the game not been rigged which amounts to over 16 million euros (FYI 542 stickers collected). You can contact Mike Ryan directly on Twitter.We are currently filing a lawsuit against McDonald's corporation in Europe for fraud and for violating the EU directive 2005/29/CE on unfair commercial practices. ThereвЂ™s so much more and IвЂ™ve only seen half the story.

It was interesting how this series successfully presented this woman, who we first met as a scam artist, into just a working mother trying to do the best for her son, and yet another victim of this elaborate scheme.ДЄlright. So her monthly mortgage payments tripled.

And on top of that, she had to mortgage her house to afford the $50,000 upfront fee. As the вЂњwinnerвЂќ tells her story, when it was all said and done, she was getting around $10,000 a year of the вЂњ$50,000 a year for 20 yearsвЂќ she was promised. Because after theyвЂ™d pay Jerry Colombo half the winnings, theyвЂ™d learn, oh, right, you have to pay taxes on that money. Now, in episode three, things get pretty interesting when the filmmakers get one of the вЂњwinnersвЂќ on the record. вЂњWinnersвЂќ would pay $50,000 upfront for the million-dollar ticket, that all went to вЂњUncle Jerry.вЂќ (Yes, there are a surprising amount of Jerrys involved in this story.) Then the вЂњwinnerвЂќ agreed to pay Jerry Colombo half of the million-dollar winnings.

Eventually, as the operation got bigger, he brought in a вЂњconnectedвЂќ fellow named Jerry Colombo (yes, of the Colombo crime family) and the scam was in full force. And a lot of these people wound up all being related to one another. McDonaldвЂ™s itself wasnвЂ™t involved (in fact, a McDonaldвЂ™s employee helped set up and work on the FBI sting involving past winners), but the head of security at the outsourced marketing firm, known as вЂњUncle Jerry,вЂќ had direct access to the winning pieces and distributed them out as he saw fit. The story, in a nutshell, is that the fun little Monopoly game we used to play at McDonaldвЂ™s was impossibly rigged. This story is a gift for these directors, and for the lucky director who eventually directs the movie. When this is made into a movie, hardly any embellishing needs to be done. Every single person involved in this story - from the FBI agents, to the mobsters, to just the people who knew them - are characters. IвЂ™m basically here to say, look, when this comes on HBO in a week or so, yes, you need to watch it. And, yes, it does appear this will be a narrative feature film someday and it will be a crime if it doesnвЂ™t become one of the most rewatchable movies of all time.Д«ut, since I donвЂ™t really want to get into too many details, this puts me at a disadvantage when writing about it. Look, once Sherman Hemsley (yes, George Jefferson) somehow got dragged into all of this, it seems pretty obvious this was a story for the ages. (One interviewee even says, вЂњdonвЂ™t believe it.вЂќ) There are points where the filmmakers doing the interviews (James Lee Hernandez and Brian Lazarte) will do double-takes and simply ask, вЂњWait, what?вЂќ There are colorful FBI agents - one agent, Doug Matthews, has obviously been waiting for this moment his entire life and thereвЂ™s no doubt the directors have to consider him a godsend like, this guy was born to be a talking head in a documentary - there are Florida hucksters, and there are New York mobsters. (If youвЂ™re not familiar with the details, this piece is a must read.)Д«ut there are so many twists and turns along the way, it becomes difficult to believe any of this is true. But the big prizes - the million-dollar winning prizes - were handed out in a grand conspiracy that involved a marketing firm and, of course, the New York mafia.

Yes, we probably all won a free shake, or whatever, in our lives. I mean, yes, we now know that the McDonaldвЂ™s Monopoly game was rigged. However, IвЂ™m going to go light on the details of the new upcoming HBO series, McMillions (or McMillion$, if we must) that just premiered its first three episodes (of six) here at the Sundance Film Festival. This is something that happened in real life! Real life doesnвЂ™t have spoilers! ItвЂ™s not about the end result, itвЂ™s how we got there. Look, IвЂ™m a firm believer that thereвЂ™s no such thing as a spoiler in a documentary.
