Does anybody else just think it encourages people to buy more food?! And does anybody actually win?

That's obviously the point. It's a marketing campaign.

itiswhatitiswhatitis · 14/04/2014 22:00

I think that's the whole point tbh

TotallyAddictedToLurking · 14/04/2014 22:01

It's very effective too, they have been doing it for about 5 years and people really take it seriously.

I know two customers who won the house and a car.

I used to work for them.

WorraLiberty · 14/04/2014 22:01

Yes, that would totally be the point Grin

YourMaNoBraBackOfMyCar · 14/04/2014 22:04

I won a mobile phone 4 years ago. I went once a week and snaffling unused ones from tables paid off. :o

ShatnersBassoon · 14/04/2014 22:05

By jove you're right. A company is trying to increase profits by encouraging sales. Thanks for the warning.

Amytheflag · 14/04/2014 22:06

I can't play! Bloody family working there.

YourMaNoBraBackOfMyCar · 14/04/2014 22:08

Shatners :o are you saying that they aren't doing this for the good of my health? Cops if so I'm suing them. I won extra portions of fries and drinks most weeks.

ICanSeeTheSun · 14/04/2014 22:09

Of course it is.

Very good marketing idea.

What ever next, supermarkets offering saving savings on fuel

GinSoakedMisery · 14/04/2014 22:10

I won 6 chicken nuggets, a donut, fries and a milkshake all from seperate purchases (I like their mango smoothies).

So far have not won anything of impressive value though.

I remember mcdonalds monopoly when I was at uni over 16 years ago so it's obviously a money spinner

OhNoYouExpedidnt · 14/04/2014 22:23

We love it in this house!

Ploppy16 · 14/04/2014 23:39

DS won an exta portion of fries last week. They lasted about 27 seconds.
We need one more to win an xbox one Grin

it's the whole point, one of the best marketing strategies around I think.

ControlGeek · 14/04/2014 23:42

I am one card away from winning a mini cooper - do you mean to tell me it's rigged, and I won't get it at my next purchase??

MoreLifeInATrampsVest · 14/04/2014 23:55

I won ....... a fruit bag!

Never keep the cards though to play the game, only the instant wins.

passmethewineplease · 14/04/2014 23:57

Really?! I can't believe it! Shock

I've won a mc flurry and some porridge. Hmm

Jellaby · 15/04/2014 00:03

I won a hash brown :)

yegodsandlittlefishes · 15/04/2014 00:06

Can anyone send me a Mayfair sticker? Grin

Funnyfoot · 15/04/2014 00:09

I won 6 nuggets. Grin

BethCalavicci · 15/04/2014 00:22

I won a free drink and an apple pie.

ladygracie · 15/04/2014 00:27

We won 100 free photos & a sundae at the weekend which was nice. It is a very clever strategy if it works but won't make me go there more often.

ladygracie · 15/04/2014 00:28

Oh and an apple pie & 20% off at best western.
