Remember when I mentioned the start of McDonald’s [MCD] Monopoly game?
Well, the time has come for the game to wrap up… if you haven’t punched in all of your codes online yet, you should probably get it done ASAP.
Hey, don’t say I didn’t warn you!

… at least, game-wise (in the CNBC $1M Challenge game).
It looks like, about the same time as my post about the ‘game, Flip is getting back into the action with this third iteration of the game. This will probably be an interesting 10 weeks of twisty-turny nausea (and maybe even a bit of vomiting), so [...]
