McDonald's Monopoly winner gets a sweet $1 million



Anyone who has ever gone on a Big Mac binge in hopes of winning the $1 million prize in the McDonald's Monopoly game may be feeling a little more hopeful. Brandi Futch, of White House, Tenn., collected both Boardwalk and Park Place (the two pieces needed to win) after she ordered a McChicken sandwich, fries and a sweet tea. The big prize came on that sweet cup of tea.

Futch, 23, who couldn't be immediately reached by DailyFinance, works in customer service for the Grand Ole Opry and will receive $50,000 a year for the next 20 years. It may not be enough to retire on, especially after taxes, but it's enough to take care of most of her needs.

Very smart of McDonalds to spread over 20 years. It's better for her to take lumpsum. The tax is the same for the next twenty years but inflation will be up.

Aiyah... This Singapore version is damn lousy. Prizes are too little.

When I was in Germany about 2 years ago, the grand prize was a house of your choice valued at 500 000 Eur and second price was 1x Range Rover and 3x Land Rover. Then I think the third prize was Visa card with 100 000 Eur inside. The list goes on.

Here... so small prize, not worth it. I got a Festina watch from McD Germany last time.

The best I got in Singapore is the card deal game. Not bad lah, at least can play with friend.
