    Many years ago there was a kid on my block that was an assistant manager at McDonalds. He left the back door open at closing time and his 4 buddies came in and took 4 boxes of game pieces out the back door.

    I'm tight with the man next door and his kid was one of the 4 buddies. Each box contained thousands of the little prize pieces. About 7 of us spent hours and hours tearing these little papers open.

    For our efforts we collected maybe $100.00 in instant prizes, burgers, fries and sodas for the whole block for months and NONE of the coveted prize pieces.

    Your odds are better of hitting the lottery 3 times and getting hit by lightning all in the same day.

    Sounds like what I would expect. Probably better off sticking to the dollar menu and not even buying the value meals.

    I won a $100 instant prize 2 years ago. The 2 previous contests were MUCH BETTER with the guaranteed Best Buy bucks. This year, you only have a 50% chance of getting any TRUS bucks, which we dont need anyway. I have $7 in TRUS bucks that I dont need already.

    Yeah, the Best Buy bucks were not bad. You could easily use that toward some pretty useful stuff at Best Buy. Having a 1 year old son, I'm sure I can use the Toys R Us money at some point but the Best Buy deal was better for sure.

    The MAIN problem with the Toyrus bucks is that they are limited to just $5 at a time I believe. McDonalds even coined the term "stackable" for this contest!

    Last year at Best Buy, you could use up to $300 on one transaction. It is only $5 each at Toys

    The first time they ran it I ended up with severe digestive problems due to a steady diet of McD's. No more.

    they used to give out "2" grand prizes one a boardwalk and one instant winner. the instant winner was here in my town about 10 years ago. I knew a guy who won 100k at mcdonalds, he was in prison within 2 years.

    Seeing these odds are really making this seem less fun. I think I'd be better off going to Wendy's and buying the 10 frosty coupon book for $1.

    Yeah, I agree with you guys about winning with just the gamepieces. But I have already one a hundred dollars online, just by entering the codes. And so far have only spent about 40.

    This site has some more info about the mcdonalds promotion Mcdonalds Monopoly Game Promotion and Contest Information

    The site is sorta nerdy, but they did just make a decent post on how to get extra game piece codes.

    I can top that, When I was in my younger days, we did a lot of truck hijacking. One time we got an entire truckload of Wonka Bars. Remember that scene where Faruka Salt's dad has his entire factory opening bars? That was my crew, we sat there for days unwrapping bars, at least a thousand cases, and not one fuckin golden ticket. Never tried that again.

    But if you really care for her, then you would n-never hit the airport,
    To follow your dream, sometimes I still talk to her, but when I talk to her
    It always seems like she talking about me,
    She said you left your kids and they just like you
    They wanna rap and make show beats just like you,
    But they just not you and I just got to
    Talking bout what she can try to do just not new
    Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong
    I guess you never know what you got till its gone
    I guess this is why I’m her e and I cant come back home
    And guess when I heard that when I was back home
    Every interview I’m representing you making you proud
    Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud
    Jump in the crowd, spark you lighters, wave em around,
    And if you don’t know by now, I’m talking about Chi town
    Miss you, brother. Love you.

    Time for the classified ad, anyone with monopoly Boardwalk, have other required grand prize pieces. Will share grand prize 50/50. Maybe one of the three lucky mickey D people will answer your ad, out of the thousands upon thousands that place an ad.

    Best wishes...OF

    But I figure if they finally did get Boardwalk, they probably have 20 Park Places already. Nevermind.

    I was adding to your sarcasm, so I might not be a fuckin moron. I am being serious at the same time, it will happen, you and I know better, but you want a true moron indicator? Scan the classifieds after the 3rd piece is released, maybe sooner. I am sort of baffled as what these people are thinking. Plus, they see 20 other ads there already, and want to be that lucky 21st? The entire concept of placing the ad gets me to shake my head anyway. If it rolls like last time it will happen again. That is strategy.
