I think he means marked on the winning side, not the blank side.
IIRC this happened years ago when the contest was "Build a Big Mac." An employee cleaning the tables noticed an unopened game piece and opened it. Turns out it was the $100K "rare piece." I'm not sure if he quit his job, or just gave the piece to a friend, but there was a court case about the legality of it all. I don't recall the end result but a few years later I heard McDonalds employees were told that if at any time they encountered a winning piece; that they should inform their manager immediately for instructions.
