You have no idea how much searching I did to make sure I was actually going to be the first person putting this up.

So as it turns out, one year off is all we got. (The Facebook complaints must have been epic.) But weirdly, we're also not seeing a single sponsored prize: no Shutterfly, MCR, Hulu, EA (thank goodness), Best Buy (insert mandatory sigh) -- not even Hasbro throwing a hundred free board games into the mix. Our win options are Food or Cash. And as posted above, the odds on Cash aren't good. Your odds on Medium Fries, however, are Inevitable.

Inevitable Fries.

They should put that on the stamp.

This doesn't seem worth putting our health at risk for this year. I guess if you're going to go through the garbage to find pieces, maybe, but the prizes are awful this year. Who wants "free" Mcdonalds food if it requires buying mcdonalds food or going through the dumpster?

Wow, it only took the third post to complain about the food!

Well, let me also complain about no MCR, no Best Buy Bucks, and no Redbox.

For me, the food killer is the loss of the Any Breakfast Sandwich piece. I guess too many people were actually redeeming them.

No Redbox? Oh noes! Now I have twenty less things to give away at the end of the promotion!

...I just wrote "oh noes" as a sentence.

I'm going back to bed.

Done. (I wasn't sure whether to go with Instant or Daily, and the editing code hasn't been kind. I tried to switch into Daily with no success.)

Benefits don't outweigh the investment for me this year. Shame, as I've enjoyed playing it in the past.

Wow, talk about underwhelming. I have a $5 Arch Card and this contest has not given me any desire to even use it. If I happen to find winning food prizes (litter pickup) I'll see if I can donate them to someone begging outside a McDonalds. At least then the free food item will serve some purpose.

Hope to see some $$ winners posting in this thread. GLA.

Strange that you have slightly better odds of winning $50 than $25. Not that I'll win either of them. :-(

last mcdonalds monopoly was such a bust for me. even my mail ins didn't do well. i ended up giving most of the pieces to my boyfriend who didn't use half of them.

that said...the only way i'm playing is if I'm already eating at mcdonalds. currently they have the 2 for $5, where you can get the big mac/10 nuggets/filet of fish in that deal. hash browns are now over $1 in New York, there are no dollar menu items so everything else is regular price.

i mean cash is great, but the odds are terrible.

You should use the $5 card on the McPick 2 for $5. Hope the deal is still available on 3/29. Big Mac, Filet o Fish, and 10-Piece McNuggets all have game pieces!

With the instant win "cash", do you really just walk into McDonald's to claim it? Whenever there is a Monopoly contest at my local McDonald's, the employees typically seem dumbfounded when I hand them a stamp to redeem, like they've never seen it before in their life. Can only imagine asking for $50 Cash from them.
