• A Melbourne man’s plea for Australians to donate their McDonald’s Monopoly ‘instant win’ food vouchers has gone viral.
• Last week, Matt Lawson shared a photo of his winning ticket on Facebook, saying he had donated it to those in need, and called on others to do the same.
• According to Matt, offices and schools have set up jars for people to donate their unused vouchers, which have then been delivered them to groups in need.
• Although Matt acknowledges that “junk food” is being handed out, he notes that it will make a big difference to someone who hasn’t eaten in days, and makes people aware of the issue of homelessness.
• Although McDonald’s initially rejected the idea on the basis that the tickets are non-transferable, they are now (sort of) lovin’ it, telling 9 News that they admire Matt’s efforts, and will honor any ticket presented in Australia.
• For those who don’t know, McDonald’s hands out Monopoly game tickets, with some eligible for ‘instant wins’ which can be redeemed for specified food items.
