McMillions chronicling the stranger-than-fiction story of an ex-cop turned security auditor who rigged the McDonald's Monopoly game promotion for a decade, stealing millions of dollars and building a vast network of co-conspirators across the U.S.
Part 1 (of a 6-part HBO documentary series) aired last night. I had never heard of this -- but between 1996 and 2001, there were almost zero legitimate winners of the high-value prizes in McDonald's Monopoly game. From the FBI getting a "probably bull****" tip that 3 of the winners were related, this goes through the steps of the investigation. Brilliant.
(BTW - TiVo owners, if you want to create a Season Pass, you can't find it with "McMillions" -- the "$" throws it off. I found it by going to Guide on the TiVo and picking it from the schedule last night).
