I remember it being a big deal to my mom growing up. We never won anything other than some free fries or something like that. I don’t know of anyone that’s ever won anything big.
I rarely eat McDonald’s these days, but saw a commercial for it and wonder if anyone has a cool story.

It was all a scheme, there are documentaries on it.

Security guy orchestrated all the "big winners"

I've won several Big Macs in the 90's, which was my favorite fast food burger. I have fond memories of it, even if it was all rigged.

I built playgrounds for McDonalds back in the day. The workers would give us stacks of cups to open for the game.
Never won anything worth anything.

My ex Gf in high School’s mom won a trip to the Olympics….

Come to think of it, that was a Coke thing, not McD’s…

There is a good documentary on Netflix that talks about what a total fraud the first set of Monopoly games were, it’s pretty interesting. You should watch it.

I won $50 on a hashbrown container circa 2002.

We had a truck load of guys heading to a job and all ordered in the drive-thru. The guy driving randomly dished out the bags to the rest of us (we all ordered the same thing). I won the $50 and he expected me to split it with him since he handed me the bag. Needless to say I didn't.

Won a free Big Mac along with everyone else in Alex Box in the 90's when Todd Walker hit a homerun when the McDonalds sign was lit up in center field.

Never did, but I seldom could afford such fine dining.

I do recall RC bottle caps having cash prizes printed underneath. Won a few nickels and dimes on those.

AI says: In the 1960s and 1970s, some RC Cola caps had a tiny cork liner. When lifted, customers could find a small cash prize, like a dime or quarter, which they could redeem at a local grocery store.
