You have to request a "no purchase necessary" entry through the mail. If you really wanted one, you should have bought a burger.

The manager was under no obligation to give you a game piece, but he was wrong by not telling you how to get one. Had you gone to the Burger King website and complained, you would have probably gotten your game piece, and the district manager would have had a chat with the store manager. However, now that a year has passed, it is not likely anything will be done. Normally, when they advertise “no purchase necessary”, you have to mail in or visit a website for a free gamecard.

Just because the advertisement stated "no purchase necessary" does not mean that you can enter a restaurant and request a scratch-off-card. With all "no purchase necessary" promotions you must write to the company and request a scratch-off-card through the mail. No, it was not illegal.

If you look at the fine print, it says to send a self addressed stamped envelope to some address and wait 6 to 8 weeks... yada yada yada. They somehow legally rig it so that you can't really win anything. For example, it may take 7 weeks for the damn thing to get to you, and the promotion may only last about 8 weeks. It just sucks. You shouldn't mess with that stuff. Probably, the actual restaurants can’t give you anything without a purchase.
