A Couple Of Interesting Wins

There had been a few interesting “wins” while Jacobson was running the Monopoly scam. In 1988, a Florida cop struggled to pay his bills said that he discovered a winning game piece in the squad car. The following year, a family had been living only 43 miles where Jacobson lived and brought home $250,000. Let us not forget about the “impostor” M&M candy, much like the one that Robin Colombo nearly swallowed by accident. However, this involves a Florida college student who bagged a prize worth $1 million. However, the weird thing was that he found it even before Mars announced the contest! A devout Baptist, the boy’s dad said that it would have been sinning if his son bought a lottery ticket. “The Lord doesn’t approve of gambling,” his dad said. “But a candy contest is something different.”

Glomb, who was one of the “super recruiters” in the McDonald’s ring, had been philosophical about the whole thing. “I’m not one of those people who are mad at the FBI,” he said, “It was a game, and I lost.” He is in touch with Jacobson, who has not been in the best of health. “I hate to say it, but I’d probably do it again for the same reason,” admitted Glomb. “Every time I talk to Jacobson, I always tease him, I say, ‘You got any tickets?’” While the game turned out to be a huge hit among consumers, the truth was that no one truly brought home the grand prizes. It had all been orchestrated. This was what shocked Brian Lazarte and James Lee Hernandez, the filmmakers of the HBO documentary series, so much.
