Well, if you can reap Millions from spilling hot coffee in your lap, it's certainly worth a try.
She did not get millions in the McD case. The judge reduced it to $640K and McD and the plaintiff settled out of court for an undisclosed sum probably for less.
the coffee was 190 degrees, too hot to drink, and resulted in 3rd degree burns over 6% of her body resulting in 8 days of hospital treatment at a burn center.

True, but from what I read, she’s not trying to reap millions. She is looking for 25,000 to cover her medical costs. From the sounds of her injuries she could certainly sue for more and probably win.
I’ve been to the Lambert’s Cafe in Gulf Shores AL. It was a ton of fun but I can see how someone could get hurt. In Alabama they hire kids from the local high school baseball teams. These rolls come out piping hot and you put your hand in the air and the rolls start flying. They don’t stop throwing them til you catch one haha.
That being said, they also had servers who handed out rolls for those whom didn’t want to participate. They only threw a roll to you if your hand was up. If her hand was up she should have been ready for it.
