I’m a regular McDonald’s diner for lunch or a quick breakfast. On October 5th they started their Monopoly game: on certain food items you receive two game pieces. Emblazoned everywhere around the store and on the food items is the following from their home page:
The asterisk will lead you to the details which state the odds are for food prizes and diminish as the game progresses. In the first nine days I acquired seventy-nine (79) game pieces, five of them winners. That puts the odds at 1 in 16; alright, it’s 1 in 15.8 but I rounded just like I’m sure they did. All my game pieces were obtained from the same McDonald’s.
Either McDonald’s:
-
doesn’t like the store I frequent
-
can’t divide
-
is part of a massive conspiracy to deny me normal food winning odds
-
can’t randomly distribute game pieces
Or is simply misrepresenting the game or itself.
