User's name is very fitting. The Sting. Henry Gandorf would have pulled out after the first scam with a better payday.
I'm certain McDonald's can afford it, too.
Don't recall reading this in the article. Possibly I glossed over it. Is McDonald's awarding the prizes? Yes, the Big Macs and french fries and Coca-Colas. I mean the big prizes.
The reason I ask, there was a charity golf tournament in which I participated. As incentives, there were pro football players and and celebrities playing along in the foursomes, outstanding buffet lunch and supper, drinks, pretty girls on the drinks cart. And, if you got a hole-in-one on the seventh, you won a brand spankin' new GMC Yukon or something.
Some guy hit a hole-in-one on the seventh.
Except for one thing. It was supposed to be the eighth hole.
The insurance company insuring the prize refused to award the Yukon. The guy sued the charitable tournament. That was a revelation that a man I considered a peer would act so ungentlemanly. He won. After taxes and legal fees it was a Pyrrhic victory. If he hadn't behaved like a little bitch, things would have worked out differently.
I digress.
Curious. Whether it was an insured or a direct loss, I am thinking McDonald's was more concerned about the integrity of the game and their public image.
