Win McDonald's For Life Sweeps

To enter for a chance to win the “McDonald’s for Life” sweepstakes, customers can make purchases in the McDonald’s app between Dec. 5 and Dec. 25, automatically earning one entry per purchase when enrolled in the MyMcDonald’s Rewards program. Others can enter for a chance to win (no purchase necessary) at the official alternate entry site beginning Dec. 5.

Three grand-prize winners will receive a McDonald’s McGold Card, “with a value of $1,040 per year for fifty years” to be used at participating locations, as well as an additional $22,285 “to help offset taxes,” according to the official rules. Alternatively, the winner can choose to receive a McGold Card valued at $1,040, and take the rest ($50,960) in the form of a check, along with an additional $22,285 to offset prize taxes.
