Hey guys it's Olivia and I'm back with another video.
So as you guys may know, McDonald's is currently having their annual Monopoly game,
which is basically when you buy certain items from them they have these little peel off codes.
And so some of them are, "Oh, if you collect three properties you get this.
If you collect two properties to get that." And others are instant win, like you peel one off and you get
a free muffin, or free medium fries, or a small drink, or anything like that, ok.
So, one of the instant prizes that you can win is $50 cash, and on October 21st I won the $50 cash.
And so today, on November 6th, I got this here letter in the mail,
and I didn't really know what it was, and then I opened it and there was the $50 cheque.
And so before I show you the cheque, I'm going to go through the whole thing from beginning to end.
So on October 21st I had bought McDonald's, I was coming home from somewhere, stopped at McDonald's,
and I peeled off the game code. And here you can see this $50 game code. Don't even think about
trying to redeem the code because I already have and I'm going to show you by showing you
the cheque in this video. But yes, so I peeled this off of -- I don't know if it was my drink,
or my fries, or my burger, I don't remember, but I peeled it off of one of my food items and yeah,
it just had the code and the $50. So at the time I didn't know how to redeem it; I didn't know like,
do I go into a McDonald's and then they'll just hand me $50 out of the cash register?
Like, I didn't know how it would work, so I just put it away. Then the next day, which would
be October 22nd, I looked a little more closely at it and it says, "To begin to redeem enter the code
on www.iwonatmcd.ca" and you had to redeem it by November 30th. So then I was like,
"Oh, I don't have to go in person, I just do it online." So that's what I did; I went to the website
and I entered my code and everything and I did a screen recording back when I did that on the 22nd,
so I'll insert that here now. So I started by going to the website and clicking, "Begin the
prize claim process now," and then confirming I was the age of majority where I lived.
And then I filled out my e-mail address
and selected the prize. Then I put in my games code and confirmed I wasn't a robot.
Then I had to fill out my name, address, and all that stuff so that they could send it to me.
And then I had to fill out a skills testing question, which was a simple math question.
Then I just had to confirm my details; double-check, make sure I got everything right,
click continue and that was it. Congratulations, I'm going to get my prize in 6 to 8 weeks.
And so yeah, when I did it, it said it would take I believe up to six weeks but it's been 15 days, so just
over two weeks, and then I got this in the mail. If I had known this was it, I would have opened it
on camera, but I honestly didn't know; I just saw mail with my name on it. 'Cause I wasn't expecting
to get it yet because it said it could take up to six weeks and it's only been two, but yeah.
So it came from St. John, New Brunswick; so I guess that's their headquarters, I didn't know it was in New Brunswick.
And then when I open it up there is this letter in it and it says,
"Congratulations, you are a winner in the 2020 MONOPOLY Coast to Coast Game at McDonald's. By cashing
this cheque in the amount of $50, you represent and warrant that you have read and complied with,
and unconditionally agree to, the Official Rules governing the 2020 MONOPOLY Coast to Coast Game
at McDonald's. Any modification of this language shall be null, void and of no force or effect whatever."
We -- I think I was supposed to say "whatsoever," I don't know. "We hope you enjoy the Prize!
The McDonald's Redemption Centre." And then when you go to the other page that is in here,
it says the exact same thing but then at the bottom is the cheque. I'm not going to hold up the cheque,
I'm going to insert a picture of the cheque so that I can blur out all my information
'cause you guys don't need to know where I live. But yeah, so the date on the cheque says October 29th.
So I got the code on the 21st, redeemed it on the 22nd, which means 7 days after I redeemed it;
they made the cheque, mailed it to me, and then 8 days after that I got it; for the total
of the 15 days that it took to get to me. So yeah, that's it. This is not the first time I've ever
won anything from McDonald's, like I've gotten the free fries, and the free drink and all the stuff,
but this is one of the only "big" prizes that I've ever gotten. Like no, I haven't won the car,
or the trip, or all the other big things that they have, but, like, $50 cash that's pretty great.
Like, what did I spend? Like, I don't know, I spent maybe $8 and I got $50. So yeah, I'm content with that.
So yeah, that's it; I just wanted to share this with you guys 'cause, I don't know,
I thought it was a cool thing that happened to me; I won 50 free bucks from McDonald's Monopoly.
So yeah, um, that's all for this week's video; I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, be sure to give it a thumbs up.
