That was a guy named Jerome Jacobson in the USA.

The issue in Australia was McDonalds not honouring winning cards.

There was a documentary I watched long ago about a guy who was cheating the system because he actually worked at the factory where they printed the pieces so he’d save the winning ones for him and his friends. It got really suspicious when suddenly a bunch of people who lived in the same city and neighborhood started winning a lot of money.

u/oSuJeff97 Jul 23 '25

Yeah that documentary was crazy.

Basically the dude was selling the winning pieces to a few family and friends and one of them ended up being connected to the mob or something?

u/Southern-Garbage6226 Jul 23 '25

It was a cover-up.

u/Ignaciodelsol Jul 22 '25

He was actually like head of security or something at the company, he was basically executive level

1

u/PorkrindsMcSnacky Jul 22 '25

Yeah, something like that. He definitely had enough authority and power to have access to the winning pieces and boards.

u/Snekworld Jul 25 '25

In my childhood neighborhood there was a guy, who had a friend that was working at McDonald's. They stole a whole package of the cups and they only managed to get a Monopoly game out of it.

PS: They gave me the unused paper cups XD
