134: Red Handed pt.2: Hamburgler [McMillions Scam]

For more than two decades you had a better chance of winning the lottery than the McDonalds Monopoly Millions. Unless... you knew the right guy, who knew a guy, a shadowy figure named "Uncle Jerry." What started as one of McDonalds most successful promotional campaigns in it's history also managed to fund organize crime, exotic vacations, and at least one strip club/church in South Carolina. Burgers are sold, lives are ruined, any yet we have to ask... do you want to be a Millionaire?   00:00:00 Catch-Up 00:33:29 Hamburgler 01:01:25 Birth of the Game 01:10:18 Who is Uncle Jerry 01:25:35 The Other Jerry 01:51:48 Do Not Pass Go 01:57:06 Main Character Moment or Literal Crime?   Connect with Us Love a good laugh?
