i think the only time i actually go to McDs is when they have that stupid game...i've never won anything big except maybe like a free big mac or that crap but it's so addicting to try to win. get marketing ploy.

There must be some kind of voodoo wizardy behing the mcdonalds monopoly game because every year when it rolls around I find myself going to mcdonalds almost daily. When it first came out me and this one dude would wake up early every day and eat breakfast at mcdonalds for the game pieces. Sometimes we'd catch lunch there too and whenever I was thirsty I would stop by for a large soda. Each of us filled like 4 damn game boards up with every piece except for one for each prize, stupid mcdonalds. But we did get plenty of free cheesburgers .

Oh, yeah - they're going to make it up to me by letting me purchase more food to get chances to win in their new $10million "make-up" game.

Did you guys hear about the court case we had hear a couple of years back over the McD Monopoly game?

Some enterprising contestants used the previous years tickets and claimed prizes. McD rejected them and got taken to the cleaners.

I'll see if I can find a link.

Yeah, I saw this on the news last night. I think that's why the game is coming back, since it was rigged the first time.
