I bet there are like 500,000 "Park Place's" and 1 Boardwalk. They get everyone to think that they have 1 of the 2 rear pieces. Then you keep going back to McDonald's to get the last one, and they make more money off of you. However, you never find the other piece. This scheme works quite well, I do believe.

i think the trick is that mcdonalds puts out 1 of the winning pieces and hopes the person who gets it doesn't actually collect the pieces and just throws it out.

What if no one wins do they have a drawing to make sure they give away the advertised prizes?

that's that "no purchase necessary" thing on the back right? you can "win" in the drawing if no one actually wins the game.

someone wins. like the other times they've done this, it's all rigged. maybe not by the corporation itself, but by employees.

i thought they were gonna stop the whole monopoly contest after the news broke about all the other ones.
