History

Historical Context

In 1995 McDonald's launched its nationwide Monopoly sweepstakes, now run in 22 countries and credited with boosting sales and establishing fast-food sweepstakes as a marketing staple. Following that model, Burger King’s 2018 Whopper Detour app and Chick-fil-A’s Cow Appreciation Day, revived in 2019 and expanded for its 80th anniversary in 2026, illustrate how location-based giveaways have become core growth tools for quick-service chains.
