CHICAGO (AP) - A Chicago lawyer has sued McDonald's Corp. and a marketing firm over the alleged criminal ring that fixed $1 million winners in McDonald's popular Monopoly and ``Who Wants to be a Millionaire'' games.

Aron D. Robinson is seeking class-action status for the consumer fraud lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Cook County. The suit names McDonald's and Simon Marketing Inc., the company that handled game promotions and security for the fast-food chain.

On Tuesday, authorities announced that federal officials working with McDonald's had broken up a criminal ring that they say rigged the two games, played by millions of McDonald's customers over the past six years.

The FBI (news - web sites) alleges that the ring fixed winners of $1 million and other big-money prizes who then shared the cash with members of the group. In all, the ring ``won'' more than $13 million in prizes.

Eight people have been arrested so far. At the center of the scheme was Jerome Jacobson, 58, a security employee of Simon Marketing, authorities said...

I knew it! They need to drop that kind of BS promotion anyway. Got a grown man hunting for Monopoly pieces and junk! All I get is a free fries or drink piece anyway, which by the way cannot be combined, not can they be deducted from a value meal combo, so after you separately buy the other 2 items, you ain t saving a dang thing.

:blah: :hammer
