WITI-TV, WEST ALLIS —
An unemployed West Allis man will have a much brighter Christmas after winning a $1 million prize in the Monopoly game at McDonald's.
Jonathan Kehoe won the one and only million dollar prize after pulling an instant tab affixed to a medium soft drink at the McDonald's at Highway 100 and National Avenue in West Allis. "Pinch me, somebody pinch me," Kehoe said on Tuesday morning.
Kehoe says the day he pulled the winning tab at the end of October, he had his Godson with him. He wanted some McDonald's. So Kehoe to pull in and get something. He bought himself a McRib value meal in the drive-thru. When he pulled the tab, Kehoe saw the Boardwalk and Park Place tickets.
"I don't think it hit me right away. I didn't realize right away that I won. It was like I had to, um, ask a few people, 'is this real?' And after a couple of hours, it set in," Kehoe said.
Kehoe says he has some bills to pay off and he owes his parents some money. He wants to then see if he can buy some property. But Kehoe says he wants the money to last.
Kehoe is a lifetime West Allis resident. He's worked in several different jobs including some construction. But he's been unemployed for the last 18 months.
"This is really a blessing, ya know. Right at the end of my unemployment, I pulled the million dollar tag off a cup. I mean, it couldn't be better."
I tried a McRib again for the first time in years and all I got was regret :-(
I ate a McRib and all I got was this lousy shirt
I ate a McRib and all I got was this lousy stain on my shirt.
I refuse to acknowledge said McRib
Never had one,never will. Not that I put down fast food,or anyone who eats it(I eat a lot of it),but I never had a hankering for the 'rib.

I tried to eat a McRib the other day, in my jeep, with nice clothes on. It's a messy sandwich and combined with the manual transmission, super loose steering box, and traffic I ended up wearing a lot of it. It was worth it.

Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherberkeleyer.
I'm glad something good came about because of a McRib. I've had two, my first and my last. The second one was to verify the first one was as bad as it seemed. And this is from a guy who's never seen pig he didn't love.
mmm mcrib... not as good as real ribs... but not as bad as you guys are pretending it is :)...
McRib... Named for what you McPuke up after eating that god awful McCrap.

The McRib is disgusting. It's like eating the most vile thing you can possibly think of, slathered in crappy BBQ sauce. And I love em.
Sounds like you all haven't eaten at Hardee's. You can do worse than a McRib. Lots.
Bite your tongue, Hardee's is DELICIOUS.
I've had folks tell me NOT to eat a McRib if I am going to be in a crowded room after eating it. McRib's "BBQ" sauce makes you McFart, and not in a sweet-smelling, flowers and butterflies scent, either.
McDonald's......when the alternative is eating nothing at all?

When the McRib comes out every year, I have at least a half dozen of them. Heaven forbid they come out the same time as the Shamrock Shake.
