SUPER=03-Beaufort, SC;
Gloria Jean Brown of Beaufort was cleaning out her car when she found an
empty french fry box that was worth a cool million.
She had found the winning piece in McDonald's Monopoly game.
Brown doesn't remember buying the fries, she's just glad she didn't toss the
box without looking at it.
She will get 50-thousand dollars a year for the next 20 years.
She's currently unemployment and says she may use the money to start her own
business.
