My mom was struck by lightning when she was a girl. She’s never won McDonald’s Monopoly.

Though, my dh DID win some gift cards to McD’s on a radio contest yesterday.

Those are terrible odds!! I wonder how many burgers some people wolf down to try and win.

Btw, I actually know 2 people who were struck by lightning, but I don’t know anyone who’s won the lottery or the McDonald’s Monopoly. I’m living proof that your odds are correct.

lol! Wow, I knew the odds were stacked, but I didn’t know it was by that much. I like your analysis of this popular game. Thanks!

Oh no!
