In 1987, McDonald’s launched an ingenious sweepstakes based on the game of Monopoly. Customers would purchase sandwiches, fries, drinks, etc., that included peel-off game pieces on the packaging — potentially rewarding them with anything from a Filet-O-Fish to a new car to $1 million. People went wild for it and business spiked by 40 percent for the fast-food giant, which kept it up for years.But it wasn’t all happy meals.“It seemed like an opportunity for ordinary people to get ahead, but there were consequences,” said Brian Lazarte, co-director of the HBO docu-series premiering Monday,...…In 1987, McDonald’s launched an ingenious sweepstakes based on the game of Monopoly.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.A couple of years ago, former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss told her friend Steve Bing about a common acquaintance of theirs who was worth $50 million. Fleiss recalled to The Post that Bing, half-joking, replied: “If I was worth only $50 million, I would kill myself.”On June 22, the movie producer, 55, committed suicide by jumping from his 27th-floor apartment at Los Angeles’ posh Ten Thousand building, where units start at $10,000 per month and robot butlers tend to tenants.

Poker games rev up and craps tables teem with action. And while casino blackjack pits don’t show any noticeable dips in activity, surveillance and security personnel can probably take it a little easy tonight. On this particular evening, all the world’s most lethal blackjack players have taken the night off. They’re not at the blackjack tables counting cards or tracking shuffles or exploiting the other...…It seems like a typical Saturday night in Las Vegas.

The smell was terrible.”Looking back, Winer now sees the...…In 1997, a burgeoning computer company, Gateway, was going public.
