Virginia Avenue

Mediterranean Avenue

McDonalds Monopoly Scandal

There was a certain amount of controversy associated with the McDonalds Monopoly sweepstakes game in 2001 when evidence suggested that the company (Simon Marketing) which was administering the game on behalf of McDonalds was in fact cheating. Employees of Simon Marketing had used proxies to win prizes by setting aside some of the more valuable and rare pieces. This "scandal" eventually resulted in 51 indictments.
