James Lee Hernandez and Brian Lazarte wrote and directed ‘McMillions’, about the criminal ring that defrauded McDonald’s throughout the Nineties ( HBO/Sky UK )

 

Everyone thought you never had a chance to win the McDonald’s Monopoly game,” says James Lee Hernandez, “but you never really knew why.” Hernandez, who, along with Brian Lazarte, wrote and directed HBO’s six-part true-crime docuseries McMillions, now knows exactly why.

 

From 1989 to 2001 in the US, the fast food chain’s promotional competition, in which customers would collect Monopoly-style pieces which could be exchanged for prizes worth up to $1m, was hijacked by a mysterious crime ring. FBI investigators believe that almost every person who came forward to claim a high-value prize during those years was part of one giant scheme to defraud the game.

I could post a Youtube story from OANN in what the main stream media won't report, but the moderators would take it down as fake news. ????????????????
