McMillion$

McMillions is a documentary miniseries that chronicles the fraud that occurred during the McDonald's Monopoly promotion in the 1990s. The promotion was a game where McDonald's customers could collect game pieces attached to food packaging for a chance to win prizes ranging from small food items to large amounts of money. The fraud involved a group of individuals who rigged the game in their favor and claimed the major prizes for themselves.

The documentary focuses on the FBI investigation into the fraud and the individuals involved in it. The FBI was tipped off about the fraud by an anonymous informant and launched an undercover operation to catch those responsible. The operation involved wiretapping, surveillance, and undercover agents posing as representatives of McDonald's.

The documentary also explores the personal lives and motivations of the individuals involved in the fraud, including the ringleader, Jerome Jacobson, who worked as a security officer for the company responsible for producing the game pieces. The miniseries received critical acclaim for its engaging storytelling and the way it sheds light on the inner workings of the fraud and the people behind it.
