On August 8, the fast-food chain posted a tweet announcing the details of the contest. if you order through their Mobile Order & Pay on the app between August 10 - 24, you'll have a chance to be the lucky winner. According to further contest details, you can enter as many times as you like so long as it's through the mobile order and pay system. Also, it's not one of those gold cards that expire in a year. This baby is good for life.

Delish reports that once you win you'll get your name etched into a first-and-only-of-its-kind mobile McGold Card that comes as a 24-carat gold-plated phone case... because, why not?

Previous owners of the McGold Card have ranged from celebrities like Rob Lowe and Bill Gates to Charles Ramsey.

Ramsey found fame and was labeled a hero in 2013 when he discovered two girls who had been missing for nearly a decade (Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus) and a third woman (Michelle Knight). Ramsey became an overnight sensation when his interview went viral. "I heard screaming. I was eating my McDonald's... I come outside and I see this girl going nuts trying to get out of this house." He recalled how he went up to the porch only for the girl, who turned out to be Amanda Berry, to beg for help and say she had been trapped for a long time. He then phoned the police and they came to rescue the three women. A famous quote from his interview was, "I knew something was wrong when a pretty little white girl ran into a black man's arms. Dead giveaway."

Given that Ramsey mentioned in almost interview how he was eating McDonald's at the time of the rescue, the fast-food company offered him one of their McGold Cards, and rightly so!

Celebrities made their way into the contest tweet from McDonald's as well. Swedish TV personality Giorgio A. Tsoukalos (Remember him? He's the guy on the "Aliens" meme.) was featured in a video that accompanied the tweet. "The McGold Card isn't some bedtime story," Tsoukalos says. "It's real... like aliens."

*Actually, he said "They gave me $2,000 in McDonald's gift cards, they gave me 20 cards with $100 on each card," he said. "I gave them to every homeless person I can find, they got wind of that, I can't get no more free McDonalds now."

I work with one of the girl's cousin. We were having a casual conversation and she mentioned it. I felt really bad because I've watched the Dead Giveaway video a million times and I laugh at it (the way the guy talks reminds me of my uncles), but then I really thought about the fact I was laughing at a video that exists because of an atrocity that happened to her cousin.
