Looks like it's time for a Big Mack Extra-value
meal.The giveaway follows a scheme that defrauded McDonald's and its customers. An employee at a marketing firm hired by McDonald's rigged some previous contests and gave the winning game pieces to friends.
A computerized random drawing selected five winning restaurants, and for each of them, a time of day was also randomly selected. On the days of the Instant Prize Giveaway, a team of judges in each of the selected restaurants will give the award to the first customer who enters the restaurant or pulls up at the drive-thru after the randomly selected time of day.
Imagine that? A marketing company ripping people off?
