While I was in the UK, I saw for the first time the Macdonald Monopoly Game, which consists of small cards that come with specifics Mac-combos and sometimes you can get more cards if you make the meal large. The cards look like the ones from the real monopoly game and represent properties from the game. The most expensive properties in the game are the combination you need to win the big price, Park lane and Mayfair. This year the big price was 500,000 pounds.As far as I know, ten countries play the Macdonald Monopoly Game since 1987. In addition, the rare cards are different in each country as well the instant wins.

You can go to ebay and buy unopened cards too if you do not feel like going to Macdonald all the time, which I did the first few weeks of the game. I only won a few hot drinks, many apple pies, one big Mac, four Mac-chicken, egg muffin (but I never got up early enough to redeem that one) and many common properties, Park lane was one of the most famous one. At the beginning, you think you have a big chance of winning but later on, you realize that the chances of winning the big price are very low.

Even thought I visited different MacDonald, the prices or cards were almost the same everywhere I visited.

Besides the prices and instant wins, you could insert a code in the MacDonald Monopoly Game website and win 1000 pounds. The code was located at the bottom of the card. However, there are rumours that the server was down several times during the day and the prices were not always giving… It was hard to win the on-line price because you need it to insert the code milliseconds before the drawing is made!

I hope to win something cool next year or at least more instant win than common property cards. I wonder if somebody has ever won the big price.
