(The following are player's comments and questions from the 1999 McDonalds Monopoly game)
Home Game Piece Tallies Links Chat Awards/Kudos
I am listing some comments here.. however, if you wish to trade pieces or talk with your fellow players I have created a forum for that use. Delphi (the forum service I use) has just revamped the site.. its easier and quicker now :-) There are hundreds of messages for you to peruse.. but be warned... some folks get a bit outrageous in their trade offers LOL
Comments received: ( And I bet you folks thought I wasn't updating anymore LOL)
I just wanted to write to say that I really liked your McDonald's stamp home page. Though I really don't go to McDonald's much (I've collected 2 stamps so far this year! Woo hoo!) I still thought it was really neat and cool. :) Take care.
It's over for another year. No more Monopoly Pieces. Still not even a $5.00 win. Nothing but a few food items.
Hey, I know the game is over, but wanted to let you
know what my final count
was if you are interested: ****Lucky
folks.. we have 2 weeks more of the contest here****
My colleagues at work and I have a
disagreement....hope you can solve this for us. (by the way, an excellent Mc'D's Monopoly
Web Site you have). SInce you've been running your web site on this topic for 3 years,
perhaps you can help us out. If a person gets a rare piece (say, Pennsylvania Ave.), and
doesn't want to go to McDonald's to seek for the other two, but is willing to buy the
other two from someone else. What would be the FAIR market value of those other two
(Pacific and NC), if the seller knew the buyer had the rare piece. One side argue
that the remainin pieces are worth much less than 5 bucks, if even that much, because
those pieces can easily be found elsewhere and the seller is better off with $5 than
nothing.
The other side claims that the seller would be stupid to sell it for $5 or less. They
argue that the seller should insist on a percentage (a few even went so far to claim 30
percent or an even 50%) split. What says you, o'wise advisor? Thank you. **My emailed reply: LOL "O'wise
adviser" eh??? hmmm well.. I wouldn't pay for a piece nor split with anyone.
Let me explain. Even though the game is advertised as a "collection"
game. (Collect the pieces and win) It's really not. Its totally an instant win game. To
win the million dollars for instance, you need Park Place and Boardwalk. There is one
Boardwalk piece distributed. There are millions of Park Place pieces. Without figuring the
mathematics, that makes a Park Place piece worth less then one cent. Now given the
scenario you presented. If for some strange reason a person who had Boardwalk, chose not
to go to McDonald's and buy a $4.00 (approx) Supersized meal (which more then likely would
have a Park Place piece) I think the suggestion of a $5.00 value would be appropriate. The
person with the basically worthless piece gets the cost of the meal plus a
little more. In regards to a split.. I personally think that is ridiculous. The person with
Park Place has a piece of no value. If the holder of Park Place wishes to insist on a
split.. the holder of Boardwalk only has to go to one of the other million holders of Park
Place.
My statement holds true for all the collections pieces. Even someone who has 2 of the
non-rares, would be doing VERY well to get $5.00 total for both of them. He just took 2
totally valueless pieces and changed them to an instant winner of $5.00. ummm I hope that
helps.. hope I held up to my rep of being a wise one LOL
We won a Hasbro electronic hand-held game
-- it's an instant winner (game piece #951). My problem is that none of the McDonald's in
my area have the prize redemption envelopes. Do you have a mailing address for prize
redemption
headquarters? *** I find it
amazing how clue-less some of the McDonald's are***
I had boardwalk in my ash tray in auto went to the car wash and wax and a few days later I noticed some pieces were gone . I never new anything about the game but my son and his wife were playing so I saved the pieces I received. When I called to tell his about the latest pieces he told me the value of the one I lost. Is there any way to Know how many boardwalk pieces were pri nted and who are the winners????? many thanks
My son got the Boardwalk game piece here in So. Calif 2 weeks ago which I threw out as garbage. Last week he got Park Place. So, I feel that I literally threw away $1,000,000. Do you know of anyone who would be interested in the Park Place game piece we have?
Hi, My name is Derek M. I live in Maine. I got the last piece I needed so that I am eligable for the $50,000 College Scholorship. I am In 7th grade, so this will be great!
After my unsavory breakfast sandwich experience
earlier in the contest I haven't been back for B'fest, but I can report that (up here in
Stevens Point WI at least) they are giving hashbrown bags in substitution for supersize
cups and large/ss fries. They are out of game pieces on those items hence the
substitution. All of the promotional materials have been taken down at our Mickey
D's as well. Also, hidden in the giant list O-rules is the deadline to reedeem food prizes
and I think perhaps all of the "smaller" cash and merchandise prizes. I believe
the date is Friday, 7 May 1999. Might want to pass that as an FYI to everyone. :) ***** My email reply: I will be
posting your comments as always. :-) Look around at other McDonalds. Here in
Southern
California, they have extended the game. Its called Monopoly and More. They nave re-done
the cups, hash brown and french fry packages just a bit. You can also now get pieces
on
Sausage McMuffins. This extension started April 23 and runs till May 13. They have added
new instant prizes ( I know of a cruise and a computer so far) The food pieces still
expire on May 7th, and they haven't changed the collection piece prizes or numbers
available. The rules do state that not all McDonald's will be participating, so look
around.. the game may not be over for you yet! :-) *****
I wish I could sink all off McDonalds together
with their game pieces to the bottom of the Atlantic!! Sit them all in big boat and let
them see how it is when you get too much ice in your drink! "Thank you sir, with that
much ice in my coke I can truly sink any ship!" Now, I finally understand that
"Play responsible!" bit. If I eat any more of their products I'm gonna croak
right in that silly yellow plastic both next to the senior citizen who was to blind to see
that she got the pennsylvania ave and not the useless RR!
AAARGH! Dear McGod, let me at least get the five Dollar price, *desperate Tom Hanks* a
faive Dallar is all I ahahask, pleease! Phewww... snap out of it! I sound like one of them
nutties on the trading board.
Guido, the... I dunno... the dweeb, I guess. For how many more days am I gonna eat
this?!
PS: Hey Califormia "It's my web page and I can censor everything I want to!"
Girl , in case you're quoting me, how 'bout using (his choice deleted) instead of cutting the whole word out? 8) *** awww Guido.. as much as I totally enjoy your colorful and
amusing descriptions, this is my one and only site I keep totally clean. I want parents
and the like to allow their kids to surf this one site without any fear of something they
may not like***
We were going back to our dorm, late at night, and we saw a mc Donald's monopoly piece on the ground that someone threw away... well for some reason, even though we don't collect the pieces, my friend picked it up and it was Pennsylvania Ave. I made the remark that it was my favorite piece and he kept it, well a week later I look on your page and see that it was one of the rare pieces... now we can't find the piece, and we even bought the other 2 to make the set... but as our luck would have it... we can't find the Pennsylvania piece anymore.
Thanks for the site! Of course, it told me I haven't won anything, but I'm not that surprised.
OK.. thanks to Toys R Us, I've had more than my share of fries (they had free supersize fry coupons) and I've also gotten myself some free pieces... too bad I haven't gotten any really good pieces yet for the # of times I've been
Do you know who promoted the games from when they first started..till now. ummm the McDonald's Monopoly game has only ever been at McDonalds.
I have piece 920 and need piece 921 can you help me find it please. Yup, go back to McDonalds.. buy more food and hope you have good luck!
Bummer, I was hoping I had something rare...Since most of the time I only buy the Furbys separately, they don't give me a game piece. Also when I bought Happy Meals I didn't get game pieces either. The one time I bought an iced tea there was a game piece attached to the cup. What do you have to buy to get a game piece? Pieces are on Large Drinks, Large and Super-sized fries and Hash Browns.
I've got a non-food winner! Woo-Hoo! Okay, it's just Med. Still pretty cool to see though.
doing my mcdonald's tally service and sending the info on.
Since I wrote to you over the weekend, I tried an experiment. I went around to our 4 closest McDonalds and bought 5 hashbrowns at each one - I didn't eat them all - I wrapped them up and froze them for consumption after the contest is over.
I've been playing the Monopoly game for about 2 weeks now. I started a few days before I got my drivers licience. Ever since then i've been going to McDonalds A LOT. I have about 14 pieces with a ton of doubles.
once when i went to micky d's i got pennsylvania
railroad, and i started screaming and jumping up and down. (thinking it was the rare one,
confusing it with penn avenue.) my
friend was so embarrased! everybody started staring! i slinked out of that resturaunt!
thanks for your site, it helps reassure mickie d's junkies like me.
I have been playing these McDonalds Monopoly
Games regularly ever since they started. I still have yet to win anything but free food. I
do still enjoy it - even though I have never heard of anyone from out here (Western
Montana) winning anything major.
It almost seems like the good items end up in major metropolitan areas. I suppose it could
be the percentage thing, although we do have 5 McDonalds in our immediate
area. I usually go to McDonalds once or twice a day - during this promotion.
I just won free french fries for a year... Stamp 937. Click here to see his stamp!
IT was on the news this morning... someone owns McDonalds monopoly million dollar(peice). ..from California... he is going to pay the bills of his heart surgery with the money.. (this is from someone I know in real life.. I find the report credible)
Howdy! After three more trips to McDonalds (for my 5-year-old, not me. I swear!), we now have several more worthless and semi-worthless pieces. Hey, I believe you... I gotta go to get my son his furbys!
Isn't this thing over yet? Me and my roommate
at college are doing the collection
thing...we promised to split the winnings and such...but it looks as though we're complete
losers...and our stomachs just can't take any more McDonalds.
I am a volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House in
Washington, DC. We had a group of about 25 people come in today to help with spring
cleaning. Two of the local McDonald's Stores were nice enough to provide both
breakfast and lunch to the group. Well, by lunch (and about 75 game pieces later) we
were wondering if we had won anything. THANKS TO YOUR PAGE we were able to
determine with almost certainty that we had not won one single thing of value.
(Although, we did win a breakfast sandwich, a regular cheeseburger, and a small
value meal.) But all was not lost, one of
the other volunteers has a son who is an avid collector (at age 8), so now he has
plenty of (virtually useless) pieces to fill the board with. Thanks for your help!
I TOOK MY KIDS TO MCDONALDS 2 WEEKS AGO AND WE GOT SOME GAME
PIECES. WE WERE NOT PLAYING THE GAME BUT THE FIRST THING MY SON
SAYS IS " I GOT BOARWALK". I DIDNT THINK ABOUT IT THEN BUT A WEEK
LATER HE CALLS ME AND SAYS A FRIEND OF HIS HAS PARK PLACE AND DO I
STILL HAVE THE BOARDWALK. AFTER DESTOYING MY HOUSE LOOKING I
NEVER FOUND IT. PROBABLY WENT OUT WITH THE TRASH. I NEVER
ACTUALLY SAW THE PIECE BUT NOW I"M GOING NUTS THINKING ABOUT IT.
PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME IF THERE ARE BOARDWALK PIECES THAT ARE NOT
WINNERS. I HAVE TO KNOW IF I THREW AWAY A MILLION DOLLARS. I LIVE
IN A DALLAS SUBURB AND KNOW THE STORE WHERE WE GOT IT. IS THE
STORE WHO HAD THE WINNING PIECE VERIFIABLE. IF SO I CAN TELL YOU WHICH ONE. ANYHOW
ARE THERE ONLY 2 BOARDWALKS IN THE ENTIRE GAME OR SOME BOGUS ONES AS WELL. Boardwalk claim #3
Well, thanks for your kind words, Cheril. I guess I
didn't loose all my humor with my new language. Guess that's my famous "15
Webhits" that everybody gets according to Warhol. My own comments page, hm? How about
a highscore page? Like the guy with
the most free cheesy buggers, who actually has eaten all of'em! Or the most stamps
collected overall high score. (I'm sure I'm gonna make #1 in that category 8) The winner
get's a free Health 'n' Diet Weekend at Cherils, which includes B&B, California
lifestyle, lotsa fun excercises (to loose weight after all that McD stuff) and romantic
candle light dinners, where I ...erh I mean the winner shows you his stamp collection. 8)
Wow, for that I would even trade my Boardwalk... well, okay, maybe not Boardwalk, but
definitly Virginia or Tennessee. Man, what an idiot! How am I s'posed to get any
work done, when I'm thinking of excercises with Cheril the CaliforniaxGirl...
Guido, President of the North Carolina Fan Club. HA! Bet you didn't think I would post this eh???? LOL
Great site, even though I will never win anything except free breakfast. I need to loose weight. This contest makes me fat!!!!
I just want to tell you that I use your page every
year for the McDonald's promotion, and it's really proved invaluable. But I want to ask
you, does it not drive you crazy the way 90% of the people don't seem to understand the
way the game is played? I go to your page just to get the info on the rare pieces to make
sure I don't inadvertently throw one away. I can't stomach reading the forums because I
want to punch nearly every person that posts. The last time I thought getting Park Place
was halfway
towards one million, I was 7 years old (I'm 23 now). My advice to you is to maybe explain
the rare piece thing on the home page next time or something. I think people truly just
don't understand that a rare piece is as good as an instant win and the collecting thing
is basically bogus. It drives me nuts!^@!!@&*!( But again, thanks for always having a
reliable site up for the promotion :) Awww.. extreme words of wisdom. I agree.. this really is a
totally instant win type game, but the rest adds "fun" to it. While I don't
want to punch the folks in the forum, I have no problem tactfully stating how silly some
of their offers of trading are.
cheri this is a good site lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As you may not know me, I am Asher...a fellow
Monopoly player too. I play the last two times when McDonalds had it....but I won nothing
big.....except a few pounds heavier. I use to have the inside connections for extra game
pieces but I have moved since then. The first time I played the game I got an inside
friend to give me a couple
of hundred of those Sunday game pieces inserts. All I got was a ton of free meals
tickets...had McDonalds all summer. That was great...the good old days............
Well...I love your site...its a great assistant to playing the game....and see that I am
not the only freak that goes to McDonalds more than I should for a silly glossy monopoly
game piece. Still I can dream .....and I hope we all can win something. Thanks for the
great page.....and good luck.
Obviously I do not eat at Mickie D's enough.
Hello! I just realized something: I HAVE NO LIFE.
Proof: I won a Furby this morning and the first thing I thought of was sending you an
email so you could update the tally.
Yikes. I can't tell you how
thrilled I am to know I am at least having some effect on someone's life.. enjoy the
furby.. they are really a trip!
You make playing this game easier. Want to learn to Hang Glide?
Okay, today I'm gonna come out of the closet... I
_never_ played monopoly in my live!
There, now I said it. Isn't that weird? But then again, only weirdos would eat everyday at
McD's, just to get some silly glossy peel-off game pieces.... 8) I mean, everyday around
lunch time I have all funny imaginations about winning the million or the house or
whatever, and how it would be, to tell everybody about it. And I run over there with a
looney grin and I buy the supergreased meal, and I'm really cool... No, I'm not gonna rip
my drink out of the cashiers hands to get those pieces. I just sit there and eat my fries,
chew my double quarter-pounder (why isn't it called a half-pounder anyway?) and pretend
there's no hurry to peel those stamps. But then, about halfway through the fries I just
gotta do it! I just hafta peel'em! I hafta get over it!! And of course I get the
North Carolina again and of course I peel the zillionth reading rail road and of course I
feel like a dork hoping for the impossible. But then again... there's people, who want to
share their Boardwalk piece. Oww! *slaps forehead* My good do I feel smart now!
8) Guido, the quote hogging, hopelessly addicted and bandwidth wasting Raider of the
Golden Arcs. Guido.. you are such
a trip LOL hmmmm I think its time to give you your own comments page here :-)
Maybe I could leave in your more colorful words and mark the page *adults only*
LOL
I've wondered if McDonalds will actually post their
results somewhere. Ficticious McDonalds Press Release:
"The Boardwalk holding fish sandwich (which wasn't dropped by any employee) in
Elkhorn Lake, Wisconsin was found by retired cheese company truck driver Dale Tucker
on the day he decided to try that new fangled McDonalds over Hardee's after
finding out that the Hardee's girls were as old as him."
Or better yet, the Board Members know where the boardwalk chit is being sent so they
hold a luncheon there to get it and destroy it. I see conspiracy. I dont believe
they actually want someone to win or else they would print more Boardwalks assuming
that people wont find the park place. Oh well. A good service you are
providing. If they do post results, can you put them on your page?
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR UNOFFICIAL SITE. TO ME, THAT's THE BEST ANYONE CAN DO. DO YOU REMEMBER YEARS AGO WHEN MCDONALD'S MADE "AN UPDATE ON THE MONOPOLY GAME" COMMERCIAL DISPLAYING ALL THE WINNERS, THEIR PHOTOGRAPHS, WHAT PRIZE THEY WON AND THEIR HOME CITY AND STATE? THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST THEY COULD HAVE DONE TODAY. I BELIEVE THEY CAUGHT ON THAT PEOPLE WOULD STOP PLAYING ONCE THEY FOUND OUT WHO WON AND THEY ARE RIGHT. ALSO, I HAVE B&O RAILROAD IT'S BLANK ON YOUR SITE AND I BELIEVE A WRITER WAS TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT IT WAS BLAN AND IT SEEMED THAT NO-ONE HAS THIS STAMP. BY THE WAY WE HAVE HAMBURGERS FOR $.29 ON WEDNESDAYS AND CHEESEBURGERS FOR $.39 ON SUNDAYS HERE. I'M TIRED OF MCDONALD'S. I 'M GOING TO WRITE BURGER KING AND TELL THEM TO MAKE A LIFE GAME. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR SITE.
This game is a hoax Real monopoly is the best
Ran across your website today when looking for
people interested in teaming up to possibly win the big monopoly prizes. Is your
site truly bringing people together? I wasn't sure how to interperet some of the
discussions in the trading area. Are people seriously looking to join forces with their
pieces? If so, shouldn't people have won many of the prizes by now? Or wouldn't they
discontinue the game because people would use the internet in order to combine pieces to
win? If this is serious then I would like more info on how to join forces with these
people and what your role is. On
your web page 3 people talked of having Boardwalk, is that true or just a farse. I have
Park Place and split 2 ways that could be worth $500,000 to each piece holder.
One of the individuals has from upstate New York, I would like to get in contact via
internet with this person. There was another individual who needed Atlantic
Ave. I also have that piece and that is worth a Corvette. In that case, the Corvette would
probably have to become $$$ and be split from there. If you're truly facilitating
this process please respond to this message with specifics and a telephone
conversation can be arranged. My e-mail address is email address removed. Please feel free to pass on to those with Boardwalk and the Marvi
Gardens and Atlantic Avenue
piece. I am very serious are all those participating in your website? Don't really know how to respond to this one.
Yea.. I think the folks sitting on Park Place are quite serious about wanting to
team up with the one person who has Boardwalk.. but I think the chances of that are slim
to none. In fact I really can't imagine any person who gets a rare game piece
would
even dream of teaming up with anyone! Why should they.. they will only need to spend maybe
$5.00 at McDonalds to get the common pieces. Why would McDonalds care if folks are
trading via the 'net? Doesn't really affect anything since the rares are just not
gonna be traded.. you HAVE to go to Mcdonalds to get any winning pieces.. all the net does
is advertise it more.
you have boardwalk? I have park place let's talk
I was told that the winning pieces of the
collections were the ones listed on the top of drinking cups. (i.e. Pacific Avenue,
Kentucky Avenue, Boardwalk, Short line, Marvin Gardens) Is this true? I have Marvin
Gardens, is it worth anything? Just
a non-true rumour I'm afraid. Both Pacific and Marvin are both normal ole commons.
cheril, much to my chagrin, i let the 000's
blind me ... it's a Park Place....sorri to mislead anyone, a honest mistake on my part.. Boardwalk Claim # 3 has now been taken back
C. H. in Minnesota has Tennessee and all the other ornge ones what is included in the home entertainment system.
I have a yellow Pacific Avenue piece (stamp 917). Do you know if misprints like these are worth anything? I doubt they are.. I saw that you posted this message on the message board too, so if its worth anything to anyone they will let you know :-)
I have found lots of abandoned collection pieces
lying around a McDonald's that doesn't clean nearly often enough as well as the ones I've
gotten from my Diet Coke habit. Thanks for verifying for me that the ones I do have are
not the rare ones.
Yea! Our free food slump is over (we are so pathetic!)
New pieces (even in a different town I can't get a freakin' St. James piece!)
Maybe I'll get lucky....or maybe I'll choke first.
how many broadways are distributed for this 1999
game...need to know asap as i believe i got me a winna here california girl...(I replied that the piece is Boardwalk not
Broadway..) It is true, I have Boardwalk,
McDonalds in Cupertino, CA...cheril, believe me it's "Boardwalk" it is
real...that nice little piece sez $1,000,000 on the back side...what now...picked it up
last nite at a Mac's in Cupertino...if you're a califonia girl you know where that
is..Boardwalk claim #3! ***This claim was taken back***
Still hoping for a big winner! Oh well!
Well, I opened up a Hash Brown and out peeks out Mediterranean! So it isn't the greatest of the prizes, but hey! I love your page, thanks for making it. It's helped so much for an addict like. Thanks :)
I have boardwalk & parkplace and you don't.Shold i buy this site. Boardwalk Claim #2
There ya go... I'll add more as I pick them up... I make food runs for my office, and I see LOTS of game pieces...
If the Monopoly game isn't bad enough, I bought a
bottle of ketchup for the fries, and was introduced to the Heinz Dunk, Crunch, and
Win contest. I have the front half of the $10,000 bill.
The rapidly getting sick of McDonald's food duo
of Rob & Angie report the following new Game Piece acquisitions since our last
E-mail... (game list cut out).....Two visits in a row with no food prize! Aye yai yai!
Also, I have yet to get a St. James Place stamp. I've taken to ordering my food wit the
finishing phrase, "Oh yeah, and one
boardwalk stamp please." Normally, the counter-girl just chuckles politely at my
humor. However, on one of the last visits I was parried with "Oh, I have that one. I
just need to find a Park Place." I laughed and said "Touché." She looked
at me strangely and then tried to make me believe that she really did have Boardwalk. I
tried to tell her how if true she had won $1,000,000 (which she would need someone else to
get for her of course), but she kept saying, "No no, I've got to find a Park Place
first." I don't think she has Boardwalk of course, but I really think she thinks she
has it. Wacko-rama.
Anyway, do you suppose that they have special meal containers for the employees to use if
they are getting an employee meal? Otherwise, what if they get a cup/fry holder with a
winning ticket. Give it to a friend I suppose? Hmmmmmm........I would tell you if I won a
big prize or knew someone who did-- it's all public info so why not? I mean, I'd take care
of some legal stuff first, but sure I'd tell. :) Also, we will continue to send you our
tallies, in a strange way I think it's fun to see how many boards we can fill up with out
the rares-- St James where are you! Finally, I think the game would be even more fun
if they made one of the other game pieces in the set a little bit more difficult to
collect. They could standardize it and make the premium property the tough one and then
make one of the others (for the ones that have three) difficult as well. Not nearly as
difficult of course, but maybe just a little. For the railroads (which I think should be
the big prize their could be multiple levels of availability. Just stuff I think about
when I'm try to eat my second large fry.... :) >From Angie... I have a resident
that works at Mickey D's and he said they get fired if they have possession of any prize
piece. Hmm...
Yesterday I bought an extra value meal for
lunch, and to my surprise I pulled a winner for the free fries for a year. The store
manager said they will award me 365 certificates for a free large fry each.
... i remember having boardwalk back when i was a
boy.. i remember it clearly.. but then i was unclear about the game, so i just
threw it away... haha, i thought you needed to collect every single piece on
the board to obtain a million dollars.. what a gullible fool i was!! hmmm.. ok
I am 17 by the way...but anyway I was at work yesterday
and during my break
my manager sends me up to Mickey D's to get lunch...so I bring back lunch for
both of us, and HE PULLS BOARDWALK!!! Unreal---well now you know 1 person who has it By
the way I live in upstate NY. Boardwalk
-Claim #1!
I have just started playing and have Several
pieces and need Atlantic Avenue to win the Corvette. Please advise. Well here is our third claim (sorta) of someone
having Ventnor... my advice.. go back to McDonalds.. the piece your missing is a common.
How can there be two Ventor Avenue's found? One
would have to be the instant winner coupon, otherwise, two people (with all three coupons)
right now could go and collect a 1999 Corvette without the instant winner coupon.
According to your sight there's only one instant and one collect all three winner for the
corvette. (amazing eh?
happens every year with the big prizes... can't imagine anyone who really wins a big prize
telling me.. yet again who knows. And this wise player is absolutely correct, I keep all
the emails I receive for the duration of the game so I can recheck them. Both claims I
received were for the collection piece NOT the instant win and its NOT possible! .)
I GOT VENTNOR!!!!!! ITS STAMP #915!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I've got a full board already so I'm not going to be sending you any more of my tallys. I'm obsessed with this game. Every morning I eat 1 free breakfast sandwich and 4 hash browns ($2) and a super size coke. Then for lunch I have a super size value meal for free as well. Each day I get 14 pieces of which I always get either a value meal or a breakfast sw. I can't wait for this thing to end so I can get back to my regular eating habits.
I didn't realize how many fanatics there are out there. I thoought i was the only one.
We have a California promo sponsered by Vons Supermarket. If you show you Vons club card at Mc Donalds, you get a free Super Size..with a meal. Hey, 39 cents saved is 39 cents I can spend somewhere else....... (I always forget to mention my vons card! LOL)
I hate trying to find the rare pieces.
On 4/6/99 my husband got an Instant Win Furby Game piece. We went to McDonald's to get an envelope to mail it in. The employee's didn't know what to do. They were trying to give us a Furby from the Happy Meals as the prize. I had to show them the game board and tell them that the Furby my husband won, according to there prize list, is worth $34.99 and the game piece has to be mailed in. They had no idea what they were doing. We finally did get it straightened out though. Just wanted to let you know, that Doug in Illinois won a Furby!!!(he always says he never wins anything, but he did, even if it is just Furby).
I'm afraid that some people will tell you they have a rare piece just to mess with your head. Two years ago I knew a woman who claimed to have the rare railroad piece, but was missing one of the other ones. I gave her the missing piece and only asked that she show off the new truck when she got it. That was the last I heard on that subject.
Thanks for providing this information. Although I'm allways disappointed when they don't put pieces on quarter and double pounders,(being a teen, I am naturally immortal :#<) [there is a spider on my nose and I am happy]..................Its rather depressing to find out that I don't have any rare pieces ,but I'll keep on clogging my arteries 'til I do.
I got Boardwalk!!...... in front of my house. 8)
Hey, I just wanted to write it once, because it gives me a tingly feeling...........Those
damn state stamps always gimme a heart attack! 'North Carolina?!?! Wasn't that the rare
one?? Oh no, it was Pennsylvania...' I wonder if you hafta buy a meal at KFC to get the
damn Kentucky one. And then one guy gets the Ventnor, ha! Well, I won't vent nor complain,
if he want's one of my 5(!) Atlantics and split the price (how does that go? he get's the
engine, I get the chassis to look at?), go ahead! Ah, well, I knew it from the start. It's
just another way of getting people who don't like the (supposedly spiked) BigMac
sauce to get addicted to McD products anyway... 8) 'kay, that's all for today. I see I
won(!) at least somebody's giggles over my silly emails: you quoted me twice... 8)
Your McMonopoly Anonymous fella (ummm make that 3 times now! - and yea..
I like the folks that can take this all lightly and just enjoy it!)
I don't want to dissappoint you but I think alot of
wins will go unreported.. (I certainly don't expect anyone who really wins a big prize
to tell me.. I have done this site for 3 years just for fun!) :-)
still no winners
Thanks for providing a service to us prize-crazed fools who can't get it through our heads that we will never win :)
I noticed that no one has turned in a B&O railroad gamepiece.I am proud to say i have that piece.I just thought i would share that bit of info. (hmmmm I wonder what list he has been looking at ) :-)
I just got Short Line Railroad!
Happy to participate, but after redeeming a B'fest
....... I know why it's been almost
7 years since I had one. (Bleech!)
It's nice to not only find out the rares, but also hear from the lucky winners. . .
The promotion is admittedly earning them our
business-- I rarely eat there normally. I like BK better. The trading area is humorous to
me-- fun to read what people are proposing. Especially given that the non-rare pieces just
take a little patience to get. I
can't imagine why anyone would trade or offer to split prizes-- at least early on in the
contest.
It is nice to know which pieces are the rare ones!
At least I know what I am looking for!
I didn't know that this game was going to be that hard to win! BOO for McDonalds.
My local McDonalds sells 2 hash browns for $1
AWESOME!!! 8 pieces and food that I can actually eat for $1. I tried eating 3 value meals
yesterday because I won them.
Hash browns are a lot easier to swallow
I can't belive it! I have Ventnor Ave.! YESS!!!! I still don't have Atlantic, but I 'm going back to McDonald's right now!!!!! WHOOO-HHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the great site...I was hoping someone (other than McDonald's themselves) would tell us the REAL score!
Glad We Found Your Site...... Now We Know Our Chances.......
Thanks for mastering this site. New to this game (but certainly not new to McDonalds) I wasn't sure if collecting the 'Park Place' stamp was truly half way to the million or just the easy half. Thanks to your site for providing me the facts. Wait a minute, why am I thanking you? Now I am depressed, I'm just another person with the 'Park Place' stamp! I'm not special. The person with the 'Boardwalk' stamp is special!! Well if you know who that person is, send 'em my way, I'll be the missing link. PLEASE! I NEED THE MONEY!!!! ( a reminder to everyone... post your trade offers in the forum, I won't act as a go-between)
i can'r belive it am going to tell every body i got short line (Does that mean that they actually have short line or just going to tell everyone they do? ) :-)
Thank you so much for doing this, I was getting a little too exited after finding the Park Place sticker!
I've got 10 pieces arriving in the mail within the
next few days...
I'll let you know what happens.
Thanks for the great page... bit disappointed
though... Ah well...
"Excuse me, but I wanted a Sprite not a Coke..."
So I got my second big cup... is that mean or what? ;)
I keep every game piece I get and just put
them on top of each other on my
game board.
I wish they would stop this contest, it doesnt help my waistline! :) Just kidding!
"What a swell site you've got! Very helpful. Very discouraging! (c: "
"thanx for the awesome page! Now I know for sure, that my chances are close to impossible... 8)"
"You may have noticed that the
rares of this March 1999 game are the same as its last Monopoly game." (yup..
they are the same almost every year) :-)
"Thanks for the page, now I can tell my boys which
game pieces are hard to get and maybe they'll get the idea that we just don't have much of
a chance at winning."
"ive got a crud load of free food ive been handing out to homeless people (here in mesa arizona where there are about 3.5 homeless people)."
"Thanks for putting up your site. It's very helpful."
"Won a cheeseburger happy meal on the first day 3/25. (used it the second day to get a furby toy!!!)"
"Wow, your site is up fast! Congratulations on being so quick! Just like last time, I might add."
"Found your site - will have fun!"
"God, but I love this game!.....We eat waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much at Mcd's"
