McDonald’s Monopoly Rare Pieces

McDonald’s Monopoly is once again upon us. For those you who wish to relive the childhood thrill of hoping to win $50, here are the “rare” pieces (from Wikipedia):

Dark Purple – Mediterranean Avenue ($50)
Light Blue – Vermont Avenue ($500)
Light Purple – Virginia Avenue ($1,000)
Orange – Tennessee Avenue ($5,000)
Red – Kentucky Avenue ($10,000)
Yellow – Ventnor Avenue ($25,000)
Green – Pennsylvania Avenue ($50,000)
Dark Blue – Boardwalk ($1,000,000)
Railroad – Shortline ($100)

Two things stink about this year’s contest. A#1: the railroad only wins you $100, last year it was $5,000,000. B#2: The printed game board is no longer monopoly board shaped, instead it’s just a boring listing of the pieces organized by color. What fun is that?

    I went to McD’s the other day and got a few pieces. Won a breakfast sandwich, so take that. have you ever read about the actual odds of winning? I think the odds to win the million (annuity) is multi-billions to one. You have better odds at winning the powerball. Also, the odds of winning years ago was zero since the people who ran the game kept the rare pieces and gave them to family and friends. Crazy how much McD’s revenue goes up when they do this usless game, but I love it.

  2. DoorFrame Says:

    I love it too. I can’t explain why it’s fun, but it really is.

    The odds of winning last year were atrocious:

    Odds of winning a greasy piece of fast food: 1 in 7.2.

    Odds of winning $50: 1 in 91,967.

    Odds of winning a Sony Home Theater System or Flat Panel HDTV: 1 in 91,697,000

    Odds of winning a trip for two to Vegas: 1 in 114,621,250.

    Odds of winning $50,000: 1 in 3.5 BILLION.

    Odds of winning $5 Million: 1 in 41,497,391,309. Or 7 times the population of the planet earth. Luckily, some people almost eat that much at McDonald’s to make it a sure thing.

    But that doesn’t matter!

    bleccch. it’s times like this that i’m reminded of why i became a pseudo-vegetarian. otherwise i’d be downing 3 big macs a day trying to win a measley 50 bucks.

    only 1 man is capable of digesting that many big macs in a 24-hour period, and i’m no johnny wong.

  4. Troeltsch Says:

    Man did I love collecting those pieces in 1st grade. Everybody in my class would talk about what we would do with the big luxury house if we won the green monopoly, etc. Back in those days the cashiers would give me big handfuls of the pieces whenever we ordered something.

    I buy a large fries, eat the first few off the top and then give the rest to the homeless guy on the corner. I get game pieces, he gets high cholesterol. Win-win.

  14. Erin Says:

    If you have the difficult to find piece, why split? Of course, I have Pacific and North Carolina and I’d split in a fraction of a heartbeat. Today, I’d probably drive to wherever it was necessary to get the job done. I don’t even need half. 20k would cover it. brown.sugar86@yahoo.com

If the people that have the pennsylvania or any property in the set that is last in alphabetical orders in that property set, i.e. pennsylvania, ventnor, tennessee, etc. congrats, just eat more and u’ll get the other properties in no time.

    Thanks :)

  37. Vick Says:

    Mel said he had Arches Ave just to give away to anyone who wanted it without splitting the money evidentally because it wasn’t mentioned so you could cantact him/her Laura and have 100,000 for yourself. I wish I had one of those game pieces, I would split no problem. I need Pennsylvania Ave., Atlantic Ave or Ventnor Ave. to win those so if anyone would like a few extra dollars in their pocket like I would, let me know.

  41. logtec Says:

    wow, how much McDonalds do you people eat? i’ve been there once since this stupid game started! you think you’ve really gunna win something? the more you play the more MONEY McDonalds makes! ohhh you won a “free med drink” when you buy a med. fries and large sandwhich, ya thats the same as buying a combo! they still make their money!

    [.]

  42. Vick Says:

    I don’t eat that much McD’s, I have only been there about 3 times since it started. If there is a chance to win something I am all for it, it is better than not having any chance at all of winning anything, I am not eating there anymore than I normally would. I figure if I can split or not win at all, may as well split if I can with someone. :) There are only about 7 days left to play anyway.
    By the way… I do have Atlantic Ave. as I mentioned that I did not have by accident in my previous post. I need Ventnor Ave. to complete the Yellow and Penn. to complete the Green. My bad. :( Shawn :(…

    Spencer, I wish I needed Atlantic Ave.,it was my mistake I only needed Ventnor Ave. to complete the Yellow. Thanks for checking for me though. :) Your awesome!

    hey I have 271 just like everyone elts, is anyone stupid enough to “split” the $100,000 prise with me? i’ll take $1000 you can have the rest! altho- i bet if you spent $20 on hashbrowns you’d get the peice you need!
    ooops the cat is out of the bag, sorry if you thought that someone with a rare peice would be dumb enough to split their prize…!

    take your chances on 20 hash browns

    [.]

  52. logtec Says:

    ya it would be dumb of me wouldn’t it? but in not the stupid one…
    (i’d rather not eat that poison to get a “CHANCE” of 1 in 1865834 to win $100,000!) BUT it would be dummer of someone to split $100,000 -50/50 with someone that had a random-popular game peice! even if you spent $10,000 trying to get that random-popular peice you still be up! GretZ
    my point is everyone on here is missing the whole point! you think your gunna win all these prizes… think about how many people eat at McShit’s everyday around the world- million’s! the chances of you or me winning a big prize is so small- you have a better chance of getting punched in the face by a clown wearing a diaper on the moon then winner anything decent from McD’s!
    “a free coffie- who the fcuk drinks or goes to mcd’s for coffie?”( its just another way to get “suckers” in to buy their crap.. food!
    during the “monoply promotion” i mean game, mcdonalds profits sky-rocket! so hey if you get the winning peice, congrats- i hope you split the winnings cuz thats the logical thing to do isn’t it?
    eating McDonalds kills brain cells… obviously!
    “nice head! whats in the bag?”

  53. gayvid Says:

    logtec has a point, it seems to be the american dream to “get rich quick”, winning money or a stupid lawsuit like: duhhh ” i didn’t know fast food would make me fat” or “what the coffie burning is hot? well then ill burn myself and make a million!” or “(i see a guy mopping the floor so) ill slip and hurt my back”! what ever happened to just working hard?

    [.]

  54. Father Dowling Says:

    Logtec: don’t fault “tom” he is only human, there is no reason for you two to fight. he calls you a dummy but he doesn’t mean it, he just want to express his emotions and love to YOU (-his brother)! you two should share a big-mac combo and see if you win a prize, if you do share it too- you’ll feel much better about yourselves, and a beautif friendship will form out of the confusion.
    gayvid-(if thats your real name): life is not all about being rich with money, we are all rich in love and family and if you have nothing the lord will always shower you with love.

    what… is this for real?
    is tom gay?

    “LOL” ban this…

    [.]

  58. Vick Says:

    Wow, you all have forgotten all about why we are all here. It’s for the elusive gamepiece! Are you really going to Mc D’s to share a Big Mac Combo meal Logtec? That is great!!

    [.]

  59. Father Dowling Says:

    logtec is gready and tom is gay but they’re still brothers in my book, the devil is constantly trying to turn us against eachother. computers take away our feelings (and make us fight) because its just a screen we’re talking to.
    i think logtec and tom should meet up at McDonalds, i’m sure they’d find that they could become good friends and put aside their differences.
    tom will buy logtec’s big-mac meal and logtec will buy tom’s big-mac meal, they should both large-size the combos. that way they each get 6 game pieces and a total of 12 game pieces between them, and if there is a winner then they could not only share the prize but have a beautiful friendship too!

    tom im sorry. i didn’t mean to act like that. friends?

  61. Ethan W Says:

    I’ve got pacific ave and NC Ave. If anyone has PA Ave, I’ll split it however you see fit.

    I like everyone else needs Golden Ave – the neat thing about this years game (do not recall if part of last McD game…is points towards the mycokerewards online auctions – but this to are low probability for a win too. Hey, and in response to one persons comments…the McD coffee has improved quite a bit and is nearly 1/2 the cost of StarBks.

    how about going to school and getting a good job insted of triing to win it? (like the rest of the SMART people in this world the magic word of the day is “WORK” or better yet why don’t you just burn yourself on a hot-pepper at subway or get in a car accident and blame your GPS – then launch a million dollar lawsuite?

    EMAIL ME @ TSPOON31320@YAHOO.COM IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THE PIECES I NEED…….WE CAN SPLIT THE WINNINGS!!!!

    [.]

  73. Trey Says:

    I can’t say that I am as passionate as LOGTEC about all this (I was simply looking for what the “rare” pieces were and found this page), but he is absolutely right – if you indeed do have a rare piece, you are a complete idiot to split 50/50 with anyone. If you have any of the rare pieces at the top of the page, go to your local McDonalds and buy fries, drinks, hashbrowns, whatever until you get the pieces you need. Because YOU WILL GET THE PIECES YOU NEED. I’m not a get rich quick guy. I realize I’m not going to win the millions, but it’s fun to play. If I get Boardwalk I’ll take half a million straight up and you can have the rest, so long as you’ll pay all of the taxes.

    By the way, it’s not “coffie”, it’s “coffee.”

    If anyone has the pieces listed above (at the top) and needs the other crap pieces let me know… 50/50 is b.s. I’ll take 5-10%. If you have the rare pieces you deserve most of the cash prize.
