    I have Park Place. Is that a common one to get?


  2. on October 3rd, 2007 at 10:12 am

    Thanks for the info.

    I remember last year eBay was flooded with people selling and buying pieces. Worse yet, some were selling a list of rare pieces when the information is freely distributed over the internet in places like this.

    There have even been three auctions, all by the same person, advertising that they hold the Boardwalk piece. A piece, which you just revealed is not available until next week. His hook was to send him money and a reason why he should give it to you.

  3. surfindad said,

    on October 3rd, 2007 at 11:12 am

    Very true. That’s why my offer to pay $500k for Boardwalk was tongue in cheek. If you have a rare piece, $10 a McDonald’s would more than likely net you the common pieces.

  4. amy said,

    on October 3rd, 2007 at 11:48 am

    I just saw on another website that the rare pieces that we need are on different parts of the country. The east gets so-and-so game pieces, and the west gets the others. Yeah thats fair. NOT!

  5. surfindad said,

    on October 3rd, 2007 at 12:13 pm

    < That's interesting. I wonder how they keep track of which pieces go where and still maintain secrecy?

  6. p a t r i c k said,

    on October 3rd, 2007 at 12:41 pm

    that comment is kind of ridiculous because the pieces are randomly scattered. there are laws that say that it has to be random. if by chance they are on the west coast it will just be a coincidence.

    Interesting Imagine how many people throw away the rare pieces or never attempt to collect the others not knowing they have the rare piece.

  12. Zulucap said,

    on October 4th, 2007 at 6:01 am

    Take the $500,000 if somebody offers it to you… trust me. After taxes you would be getting less than $1 million anyway, plus it is paid annually over 20 years.

  13. Andrew Darlington said,

    on October 4th, 2007 at 9:45 am

    I need Ventnor Ave. or Kentucky Ave. I will trade or pay cash for either one if you have it please email me.

    Notice something strange about those odds?
    The odds of winning one of the 50 $5000 prizes are about the same as the odds of winning one of the five $50,000 prizes. The rules say that the odds are based on “getting the entire combination” instead of the odds of finding just the rare piece; I have a feeling there are far more, say, Pacific Avenues than there are St. James’s Places.
    As for the “low” odds on the million dollar prize, I would not be surprised if each of the three Boardwalk pieces is “paired” with a Park Place (so if one of the two game stamps on an item is Boardwalk, the other is Park Place), in order to (a) make sure somebody who finds a Boardwalk wins, and (b) prevent somebody with a Boardwalk from selling it to someone with a Park Place.
    (Another reason 50/50 offers won’t work: all of the rare pieces have phone numbers that you’re supposed to call when you get all of the pieces of that color.)

    on October 4th, 2007 at 12:24 pm

    I went to a McDonalds last night having no idea that they were running this game. I pulled off the little stickers and one of them says “Boardwalk” on it. It is either B21 or B22 or something like that (either they are B’s or 8’s). It says $1,000,000 on it and that I need one other piece.

    I’m pretty sure I don’t have much as I have the worst luck in the world but, can someone please tell me if I have a piece worth looking at? Should I look for the Park Place piece now? Also, Surfindad said that the Boardwalk piece wouldn’t be released till later in the month but I”m pretty damn sure that my piece says “Boardwalk” on it. Whats the deal?

    Also, do we have to go to the website, enter the code and LAND on the actual piece we have for this to work? I’m not understanding the connection between the pieces you have to collect, and the pieces you land on on the website.

    Sorry for so many questions.

    For some reason its not letting me submit my post. Anyways, I think I got boardwalk? Is this possible? I got a piece last night that says “Boardwalk” and “$1,000,000″ on it. It says either 821 or 822 on it. Question #1 is, according to surfindads post, this piece shouldn’t even be out yet so how did I get it? Question #2 is, do I need to land on Boardwalk with the online game, or are the physical pieces the only thing you need?

  20. Joe Cirrus said,

    on October 4th, 2007 at 6:06 pm

    It is quite amuzing to see people offering to split the proceeds with you if you supply the rare piece! I’ll do them one better, you supply the rare piece and I’ll only ask for 25% of your, er I mean, our money.

    I’m not sure if these people are dishonest or stupid. Any odds on that?

    Dude if you do have Boardwalk Its $1,000,000 all you need is park place and they are very common just buy a lot of hashbrowns, large drinks and large fries dont fall for any bs scams you can get a Park Place Yourself ive got 2 of them very easy to get

  26. angel said,

    on October 5th, 2007 at 3:05 pm

    people are lying.
    for one. h-money. you either got it or you dont, there is no THINKING involved. and ggfdg, if u had boardwalk, dont you think you would spell it correctly, and im sure if someone got it they would be a lot more excited about having it than just saying “oh i think i got it” “i got board walk” id be flipping out and not even be on the computer.

    people are such compulsive liars.
    get a life seriously.

    you people only want people to say “OMG THATS SO CRAZY ITS WORTH 1 MILLION DOLLARS”

    you only want attention.

    The people who comment about how McDonald’s wouldn’t cheat, they have to follow certain rules, etc are obviously unaware of the fiasco a few years back. Their guy in charge of secrecy had all his buddies cash in the top prizes and they split them. They wouldn’t have been found out except his wife got pissed that he didn’t give her enough hush money. So much for trusting these sonsofbitches!

  46. Phill said,

    on October 7th, 2007 at 9:47 am

    These people claiming to have bordwalk or any other rare one are clearly trying to scam you out of money… they’re looking for someone dumb enough to send them the other “common” piece and 1/2 of the prize money. Anyone dumb enough to fall for this scam deserves to loose their money. The rare ones are easy to get just go to mcdonalds jackass… what’s with all the online trading… get a life retards.

    got a true story for you guys. in 1998 my wife, then girlfriend was at stanford hospital by her sisters side as she was giving birth to her first child. my wife stepped away for a minute to grab some mcdonalds at the Stanford shopping center there in Palo Alto, Ca.
    She got back to the hospital room w/ the rest of her family when she peeled the game piece off her big mac and saw she had gotten boardwalk. Back then she was playing for fun and not to serious about it so she didnt know to much about the winning combos and which were “rare” and common pieces but she was pretty sure that she had park place at home already.
    She mentioned to her mom that she might have won a prize and to remind her to check when they got home. later that night after the excitment of her nephew being born my wife and her mom were half way home (2 hour drive from where they lived) remembered they forgot the Mcd’s bags in the hosp. room one of the bags of course had boardwalk w/ a couple other game pieces in it. She called the room and her sister said the nurse had already cleaned up and thrown all the garbage out. When my wife got back to her house she did in fact have park place then checked a gameboard she had lying around and discovered yes those two pieces together were worth 1,000,000 dollars. that SUCKS huh, but i swear this is the truth. so now the chances of winning in our lifetime is pretty much over, but its nice ta dream

    …Seriously…Do you think the people with park place that offer to ‘make a deal’ with someone who has boardwalk are a)just big-time jerks or b) really truly have no clue what is going on ?

    I think it’s a.

    Oh, check it out - somebody’s trying to sell park place on ebay for $250,000.

    I think this whole game is a set up. I’m playing the game with one of my friends and I think we both gained 15 Ibs over the past week. We are thinking about buying a crap load of food taking the stickers off and then giving it to the homeless people so we can use it as a tax write off.

    Haha, this makes me laugh…

    I work at McDonalds, and I peel off all the game stickers on the wasted food (by the end of the night I have about 60-80) and I’ve found that the odds are somewhat better if you play the online game.

    Also, Park Place is one of the most commonly distributed pieces… I think I have 12 sitting in my desk drawer. I’ll give you eleven of them if you want. But that’s the point: you think you’re special because you have Park Place, but good luck finding Boardwalk.

    I think I also have about nine free medium fries sitting there as well… they’re up for grabs, seeing as I refuse to eat the crap I make.

    Take the offer for $500,000 for boardwalk??? You win a million bucks, BUT you receive it in the form of $50,000 checks each year for 20 years (annuity). Do you really think McD’s would send you a check for a million dollars? No. I don’t know why they don’t because I’m sure $1,000,000 is chump change to them.

    Oh! I forgot to mention that McD’s employees (even former employees who quit or got fired less than 6 months ago) are ineligible to win any cash prizes. So you better quit now if you want to win next year!

    mcdonalds really sucks

    how about just giving a LOT of people small but good prizes like 25-250 , period, so huge #’s of people could win.

    but this CRAPPY NO FUN BS game just sucks
    and so does the co.

    there’s a phenomenon called “the gambler’s fallacy.” basically, people think that independent events are somehow dependent. for instance, thinking you are “due” a “good” card/slot roll/game piece. it also works the other way– if you found boardwalk years ago and lost it, you can still find boardwalk again– your chance is just as good as anyone else’s. look at the odds/chances of getting certain game pieces. then think of that many millions of pennies filling a room/house/stadium, with one canadian penny mixed in. what are the chances each time you draw a penny from the pile you’ll get the canadian cent? very very very small. and *****that probability of drawing that coin is the same each time you draw!!!***** your chance of getting a game piece is the same *each time.* people are way better off putting their time and money into investments like stocks or index funds rather than lotteries, etc. put $20 a week away for 30 years into the stock market & see what happens… but– most folks just have no cents….

    on October 16th, 2007 at 7:09 pm

    If I got Boardwalk it would months before it turned it in.

    I would go on places like this, give undeniable proof that I had it, take some idiot up on his 50/50 (or even 10/90) offer, have him fly out (on his own dime) so I can meet him at my local McDonalds.. then tell him that while I was waiting I bought some fries and got a Park Place. And then I’d kick him square in the nuts.

  92. im lovin it said,

    on October 16th, 2007 at 7:23 pm

    Seriously, I’d wager dollars to Big Macs that your odds of getting the rare game piece yourself are better than convincing someone to give you some part of the prize for your common pieces.

  93. nutty said,

    on October 16th, 2007 at 9:21 pm

    i think the bigger scam is the playatmcd.com site, granted, I won the monopoly download and so did everyone else that I know. the dice will never roll the the above streets or short line, no matter how many times you roll. Other than the “rare” streets, my board is full and so is my wife’s.


  94. on October 16th, 2007 at 10:31 pm

    I have Park Place…I’m pretty sure I have the only one… if you have Boardwalk we should get together and split the winnings. Seriously. We should. C’mon.

  104. anon. said,

    on October 18th, 2007 at 1:19 pm

    it’s possible to win….just because your chances of winning are so slim it’s basically pointless to attempt it doesn’t mean it’s impossible to score a boardwalk somewhere. i mean take into account how many mcdonald’s there are in north america. then take into account how many people buy food there and how many packages they have to manufacture to put that food in. and there are THREE of these little boardwalk pieces randomly strewn about north america. your chances are basically none. (so all the people on this board are ridiculous for saying they have one). i think the point is to have fun, get some free food out of the deal and not try to cheat each other into making money. but i guess thats just me. whatever.

    Judging by the way most of you spell or form sentences you might as well give up playing now. Even if you found all of the pieces there is no way you would answer the BASIC skill testing question correctly.

    on October 19th, 2007 at 12:19 am

    ok i ve been playing the online game, and i was wondering if theres rules against it being rigged, cause it obviously is. i own pretty much all the properties except for 1 for each set, and it is clear that when you roll the dice that you wont land on one of the spaces you need to win. i have been arround the board about 3 times since i have had most of the pieces and when ever i get close to winning something when i roll it will sorta do a “double” roll and spin faster then normal, almost as if it were resetting and rolling again. This ONLY happens when i have a really good chance of landing on a piece i need, and happens every time, are there rules against this?

    No one has to believe me, but I’m telling the truth. My wife got the Boardwalk piece a few weeks ago, and I threw it away one day after cleaning the kitchen. She came home today and had the Park Place piece and we searched hi-and-lo in the house, but I knew I threw it away. I’ve never been so close to $1 million.

Anyway, he honestly believed that when he got Park Place, that he should’ve put an ad in the paper and offered to split with someone who has Boardwalk. I then produced my 3 Park Place stamps and his reply was “So? I’ll have an ad in the paper and you won’t!”

    Some people just don’t get it. Most of us possess a reasonable capacity to figure things like this out, and others honestly lack it.

    People, if you find Boardwalk, you’ve won. Same goes for all the other rares, which BTW, are the same everytime they play the game.

    THis game is fun and definitely increases revenue for McDonalds in the month or so that it runs for. However, its nearly impossible to win….the whole thing is a scheme…and its just as bad as gambling…I know people who go just for the Monopoly stamps…i’m 17 and I know not to play this game…they make you think ur gna win by giving you every stamp BUT the rare ones so of course your not going to win…its nearly impossible lol. When i was 12 I was sucked into this nonsense….don’t get me wrong its fun but a waste of money because the most you will ever win is a soda or a free sandwich at best which is intended to get you back into McDonalds to spend more money.

    Just to let you all know. I play McDonald’s Monopoly online daily. Twice, I’ve landed on wining properties and a black or dark green screen popped up without instructions. I would log back into the game and it was like I never even landed on Boardwalk. Yes, Boardwalk. I called and email McDonald’s corp about the situation. The first time I landed on Kentucky Ave and the second time was Boardwalk. I am very disappointed in the McDonald’s Monopoly game and cannot believe this was their intention.

    I have the Tennessee Ave. piece that i saw on this site was supposed to be rare but I cant find any New York pieces. I also have the St. James Place as well. The only reason I kept the TN piece was because thats where i live. So realize that alot of people are down on this but hey ill give it a try …. I would dish over some earnings for a new york piece… I’ll have a legal contract written by by attoney to go with it. Even after taxes a few bucks in the hand never hurts.

    Hey - I just got Boardwalk. I’m looking for somebody that has Parkplace. I’ll split the $1,000,000.00 with you. I’d go to Macs myself to get the piece by buying lots of firies, but they have no more game pieces left. So I don’t know what to do

    I just threw a bunch of pieces away without entering the codes online, how’s that make you idiots feel? Seriously, are people getting dumber, or were they always this way? Gambling in general is stupid and all, but this, this is a new low. I’m going with the guy who said these people are jackasses, because it makes me nauseous to imagine such stupidity…
