There are 550 calories in a Big Mac, and 590 calories in a 10-piece pack of chicken nuggets, so maybe it’s a better idea to play the lottery or ask your friends to give you their game tickets. Savings Advice posted some ideas on how to win cash prizes in this year’s Monopoly game, with tips on how to win without eating thousands of McD’s food items. The articles suggest that players “make friends” with restaurant employees and form a team of game stamp collectors to help them win the big prizes.
“Another way to get early access to game pieces is to have friends who work at McDonald’s. If they aren’t collecting game pieces for themselves, they can save you the pieces customers throw away.”
If making friends with employees isn’t your thing and don’t mind chowing down on burgers and fries, there are millions of prizes up for grabs this year. Before you start dreaming of winning prizes like a $1 million, a trip to Super Bowl XLIX, or a $5,000 Target shopping spree, there’s a chance to cash in on prizes before the game even kicks off.
McDonalds is encouraging customers to enter pre-promotion sweepstakes online at PlayatMcD.com. Free codes for this warm-up game will be posted on the company’s Twitter and Facebook accounts on September 23. For those who shy away from social media, the codes will also be available on select McDonald’s food products on Tuesday.
For those who are anxious to start playing the annual game that includes a game board, game stamps, and millions of prizes, the official 2014 McDonald’s Monopoly game kicks off on September 30. As in previous years, there will be instant win tickets on food products, game codes that can be entered online, and the popular match and win game. The coveted $1 million prize will only be given away if someone finds the matching blue Boardwalk and Park Place game pieces.
Nearly every top McDonald’s monopoly prize from the years 1995 to 2000, were fraudulently won by a group of inside workers.
