Not correct, well technically correct but this really isn't a game of chance like real Monopoly is.
The flash game is designed to work on code numbers. There is no randomness to winning. You could have 1000 game pieces to enter; you still won't "land" on any of the good spots unless your code is a winner. If and when you enter a predetermined winning code online, your next roll(s) will take you to the property on the game that is the winner for that game piece. No amt. of non-winning codes entered (rolls) will make you land on any of the prize properties.
In other words if Boardwalk is the hard to find code this time around.. if you are lucky enough to pull it off of your drink or fries and enter it online, your next roll(s) will get you to Boardwalk no matter where you are on the game board, it is predetermined by the code and you are told you have won. The game doesn't require you to also have Park Place to win the prize. You win because you entered the winning code. So it is not like anyone is ever going to enter a winning code online and not know they have won just because they are missing the other properties of that color. It's basically an instant win. I speak from experience.
Unfortunately, only Footlocker. Best Buy had a 3 year contract with them, and it was up last year. They had Toys"R"Us last year, but that contract is up as well. So this year we are stuck with lousy Footlocker % (10, 15 or 20, I think) for the "guaranteed win" which are essentially worthless unless you planned on buying from Footlocker anyway. Best Buy is glad to be done with McDonald's, because the Monopoly game was costing them a lot.
I'm happy to participate in the Monopoly game, though, because they have pieces on their medium coffees, which I buy anyway. I usually don't buy anything else from McDonald's, but did buy an egg McMuffin today, and won a free breakfast sandwich. So I guess I know where I am eating for breakfast tomorrow morning
Pooling the codes doesn't really work well. The number of people you need to increase your chances of winning significantly require splitting the winnings into numerous fragments (most people don't want a little money, they want a LOT). There's an inverse relationship there, and it is impractical especially for a large group over the internet. I'm not saying you can't do it, but realize that if you did do it, it would be for the fun of it, not because it would win the group money. Plus, like other people said, once someone has a winning piece, things can and probably will get real ugly, real fast, especially if its a large win like 100k.

Yeah just got back from there and they didn't even have a partner game piece, just the normal ones and most of the items that were supposed to have the tickets didn't.
I won a free medium fry, hate their fries though
Dude, didn't I see you post in Yahoo Answers or Slickdeals? Nice first post. Btw, anyone with any sense would just find the non-rare pieces themselves. You can easily find the regular pieces, or even buy them off ebay for relatively nominal amount.

Back when they had the Best Buy thing, you were guaranteed at least $1 in BB Bucks on certain items. And more importantly, there was a very high limit of how many you could use at once.
So you could mail in with $.41 and your' get at least $1 back. So you came out ahead. I know people who mailed in 100+ entries and got over $60 back profit. Was easy. Even easier with a color printer.

Okay, well I am updating this thread. Since obviously none of you are going to use the side pieces because only the rare ones are going to be used, could you do me a favor and send me the online codes that are written on them? Just PM me with the codes, thanks (I just want the codes off the non-rare ones, Thanks!). You can keep the original stickers, I don't need them!

Hey, don't educate these people. They think that the codes instantly take you to that spot on the game board. And that the code you get is the same as the property on the sticker.

So you're trying to take advantage of people then. :roll:

Yeah except Best Buy would only except one Best Buy cash stamp on any given purchase. I tried to use a bunch at my local Best Buy and they were like one coupon per purchase. And I was like well crap, what the hell have I been saving all these for? Unless they were jacking me.

My old roommate made tons of money off of Best Buy Bucks a few years ago. He had this whole scheme planned where he rented a PO box in Vermont (which doesn't require the sender to pay for postage both ways, only one way, so he saved 50% on postage) and then had his game pieces shipped back home via weight-based parcel shipping, which was far cheaper than paying individual postage on each and every one. Then, because of limits Best Buy placed on how many Best Buy Bucks you could use at a time (that year I think they capped you at $200 per day), he traveled to all the BBs in the city, running up to the limit every time with the items that have the best resale value. Then he just sold them on eBay and bam, instant profit.
He told me he made $10,000 last time he did that. Worked out to a decent hourly wage as well.
