<p>[QUOTE="illini420, post: 756528, member: 19423"]Reminds me of when I was college, some of my friends and I sent in around 10,000 self-addressed stamped envelopes to McDonalds to get free game pieces for the Monopoly game they do every year. Every envelope with an SASE we sent (cost around 80 cents in postage) got us at least $2 in Best Buy bucks to spend at Best Buy (really worth $4 as they had codes to use online and then you could use in store). Many of the game pieces we got were worth much more. Between the few of us we ended up with about around $50,000 in merchandise from Best Buy for a cost of around $8,000 or so. All of us got iPods, free lifetime Sirius radios and every DVD, CD and Video Game we could think of wanting. None of us won any of the big prizes though. Plus we had so much free food game pieces that everyone we knew on campus was eating for free all month and we ended up donating around 1000 free food game pieces to a local homeless shelter. </p><p> </p><p>Of course, McDonalds/Best Buy altered the rules and prize values after that to make it not worth exploiting <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
