Complaint Review: McDonald's Corporation

McDonald's Corporation does NOT offer a 1 in 4 chance winning in Monopoly 2012! Oak Brook, Illinois

I have 118 stickers from having played McDonoald's Monopoly 2012 and they advertise 1 in 4 odds of winning. Not 1 of these stickers is a food price and needless to say there are no other winners as well. And I've noticed every year though they make it sound like you have a great chance to win something - the reality is you don't, in fact this is their worse year yet for winning anything at least by my evidence.  My plan: Every Year I will not go to McDonalds when they run their Monopoly game. That is, I'll boycott them every year during the period they run the game and just not play.

Those are OVERALL Odds, they do not guarantee that you will win one out of every 4 times.  For your 118 "looses" there are people that are getting better than one in four.

The game as been running for 21 days and you already have 118 pieces.  Since you get 2 or 4 pieces each time, this means that you have bought somewhere between 30 and 60 items(approximately).   Perhaps all of that grease and fat is getting to your brain.

But if you really thought that this wasn't on the "up and up" why are you only boycotting them during this time of year?  Why are you not boycotting them the rest of the year?
