WEST ALLIS, Wis., Dec. 23 (UPI) -- An unemployed Wisconsin man said a food run at McDonald's turned into a $1 million grand prize from the fast-food chain's Monopoly game.

Jonathan Kehoe, 29, of West Allis, a former construction worker who has been unemployed for the past 18 months, said he stopped at McDonald's to get food for himself and his nephew and when he arrived home, he discovered the Monopoly piece on his drink contained both Boardwalk and Park Place, a $1 million winning combination, WISN-TV, Milwaukee, reported Wednesday.

"To me, it's perfect. If I appropriate my money right, I can be made in the shade for the rest of my life, really," Kehoe said.

Kehoe said some of the money might go toward commemorating the experience.

"I was thinking maybe even a McRib tattoo or something," he said.
