Today, I went to McDonald's. I was unaware of the Monopoly contest that they were holding. I was also unaware that you have to get 3 stickers of the same colour to claim your prize, and that it's not that easy to win a Jeep Cherokee. Taking down my Facebook post was awkward. FML

Today, while paying for groceries, I opened my wallet to find that all my cash had been exchanged for Monopoly money. FML

Today, after I sent around 300 entries to a competition hosted by a deodorant company where the main prize is a trip to Hawaii, spending around 5 hours sending the entries, I won a deodorant. FML

Today, I won a game of Monopoly against my girlfriend. She reacted by sweeping the board off the table, storming out the front door, and mowing down my mailbox driving away. FML

Today, I went with my sister to her company Christmas party. They had a gift raffle, my number was called and I won $25 for a local restaurant. A few moments later, the manager came over and said, "You don't work here? You can't have that" and took it from me. FML

Today, I won a big raffle. However, my name is so ridiculous-sounding that they thought someone was playing a prank, and pulled a different ticket. I was too embarrassed to say anything. FML

Today, I took part in a raffle that was being organised in the small countryside village where I'm vacationing. I live in big city. I won a duck. A real, live duck. FML

Today, my friend texted me from a bar, saying they had just called my name in a raffle to win a trip to Aspen, CO. You had to be at the bar to claim the prize. I had left the bar half-an-hour earlier, not knowing they were even having a raffle. FML

Today, my friends wanted to try to dine and dash at a McDonald's. I had to explain why that wouldn't work. FML

Today, the McDonald's in my town ran out of fries. I was the one who had to tell all the angry customers we had no more fries in the store. FML

The wording of this is a little confusing. Did you win?

Yeah I think OP only got one of the three colored stickers to win and thought he or she won.

I wish I was as optimistic as you, OP. Guess this is an opportunity to go out and buy more chicken nuggets!

Might even win a free box or two... All I've ever won from their stupid contest.

the only year I ever tried to play, it turned out some higher up corporate boss was giving the prizes to his family. I stop trying after that.

It was the company that ran the contest. And they gave all the prized to their friends and family for almost ten years before they were caught.

Who posts on Facebook before they get the prize? Pics or it didn't happen should sometimes be followed

As long as they have been having that contest you didn't know the rules? YID

Well hopefully there weren't a lot of people congratulating you before you took the post down. Don't sweat it OP. People make mistakes all the time.

You kinda deserve that... Games like that are always extremely difficult and you're pretty unlikely to win anything. especially if it doesn't say instant prizes ect.
