am I doing something wrong? I put in the codes online and I keep getting the hat game, and after about 15 codes, I'm still just getting 30pt coke rewards. How do I get somethign else... am I at least doing it right?

Ive put in about 10 and won one prize. I would have liked to win MCR points. I have about 400 right now. But the only game you can play is the hat game.

Some people were rigging all of the big prizes for themselves. I think it went on for a long time.

how? considering the pieces are face down and "tamper-proof"... otherwise you'd know it's been viewed before.

The people who produced and distributed the pieces kept the rarest pieces for themselves and used pawns to cash them (or something like that).
 
Back in the early 2000s there was a scam. I think MCD hired a consulting firm to manage the Monopoly game for them. Some people at the consulting firm and their friends hoarded some of the big prizes.

that's why this promo has always been such genius. all the prizes are probably provided for free (or they actually pay for the advertising) and i'd wager most of the big ones never get claimed.

Well my cousin did win a trip to Florida when the game was newer but they did get the prize on a item after the game was officially over but the store was still using the containers with the prizes attached but they honored the prize anyways.
 
i went last night on the way home from my daughters gymnastics and got a quarter pounder with cheese meal.

WTF they don't put the game pieces on it. only big macs and LARGE drinks/fries. bah assholes.
 
i've been to MCd's about three times this semester and havne't gotten a game piece for anything. i typically go in the morning and get a $1 burrito

That's because they don't use the pieces on them.

Blame yourself for not getting the hash browns and juice with them. 😛

It's actually the MEDIUM drinks this year. Large drinks don't have the pieces.
 
I've gotten some fries and quarter pounder w/cheese with the instant win, and nothing but coke rewards out of maybe 35 hat games.

Always excited to play McDonalds Monopoly because I won the XBOX 360 two years ago 🙂
 
One year they included a $1 or $3 Best Buy gift certificate on every game piece. My old roommate mailed in a bunch of requests for game pieces and used his Best Buy money to buy stuff which he then turned around and sold on eBay. Ended up making about $2000.
 
Yep - what I find odd is the difference between breakfast and lunch:

Everything on a breakfast combo includes 2 stamps [Bacon egg and cheese biscuit, hashbrowns, OJ] = total of 6 stamps [chances]

Lunch meal [small] - only on the drink = 2 stamps [2 chances]

so far won a medium fries and red box rental.
 
My Local McDonalds has the Sausage Egg & Cheese McMuffin for $1...

i've won 3 medium fries , 4 Quarter Pounders, 4 Breakfast Sandwiches, and about 60 My Coke Rewards points.

You spent money to eat garbage and won more garbage you could eat. I put the cash I saved from eating a nutritious meal at home into my wallet. :shrug:

You ordered the wrong lunch meal then if your intention was to get more pieces.

Check out the wiki link or look on any of the information in the stores to see what they come with.
