Each 10-digit Code that you text to the Short Code (84567) or enter at the Website (PlayatMcD.com) is automatically associated with the NFL team helmet shown on that Game Piece.

The announced Lucky Team will be identified by its home city (e.g., Chicago Bears would be identified as Chicago and New York Jets would be identified as New York AFC). Any Code associated with that Weekly Entry Period's Lucky Team that was entered prior to the deadline for the Weekly Entry Period (i.e., on or prior to 11:59:59 p.m. ET on the Saturday prior to Sunday Night Football [" Weekly Code Entry Deadline"]) is included in that weekly drawing for a chance to win Prizes, and if any such Code is not selected to win a Sweepstakes Prize for that Weekly Entry Period, it will remain eligible for any subsequent remaining Weekly Entry Period drawings (should the team associated with such Code again be chosen as the Lucky Team for a later Weekly Entry Period, if any) and the drawing for the Final Drawing Entry Period.

And why do I want a free small fry when I can't even eat all these medium fries...hmph

Most every contest in the US has a no purchase necessary clause. It's your choice to eat the food instead of send in envelopes.
Also I don't get why everyone is so pissed that they weren't winners, reading the game rules and how it works it's pretty obvious that even though the prizes seem better, they are WAY fewer than the Monopoly game. Bigger prizes of less quantity tend to mean that the odds are stacked a lot more against you. I invested A little under $300 and came away with $250 worth of food and that's it. I entered a total of 354 codes for teams, and didn't win anything but small fries lol. I was expecting this, yet somehow the majority of people on here are complaining that they entered <100 codes and didn't win anything...

I knew the odds were worse this time than for Monopoly. However with this game making people go online to enter codes, I thought it would be better odds because forcing people to enter codes is much more time-intensive than instant-win. Monopoly had more prizes, this one had a couple big prizes.
It would be interesting to see an odds comparison with the actual number of entries.

but even when you view the XBOX winners, it's a lot of OH and PA or VA winners. it's a bit disheartening. and looks odd.
i think i'm unlucky with mcdonalds contests though, i have played for many years and no big wins so I think I will stop playing their games.
