![]() ![]() Need at least 112,955,548 plays, but you just might win gas for a year! Never mind the net loss of $US316,000,000.īetter get ready for 90,364,438 hash browns (or equivalent), for your very own chance at $5,000! Fortunately, by that point you’ll likely have had 4 million each of the other two properties for that group, so you’re good to go! Need at least 451,666 plays to have a shot at getting… a $50 gift certificate! In the process you’ll likely win about $US170,000 worth of prizes, but it will result in a net loss of $US1,300,000. If we start with the properties, we’d get: The average price of eligible McDonald’s items ranges from $US1.00 (hash browns) to $US4.49 (Bacon Clubhouse), but I’ll use the average of all eligible items as $US3.17 for calculations (because who wants to eat millions of hash browns?). Similarly to how I looked at Roll up the Rim, we can take a look at just how many times you’d need to play Monopoly to have a reasonable chance (>50 per cent) of winning any given prize. Each colour group has a handful of very common properties (typically a 1 in 11 chance of getting them for any purchase), and one property that’s very nearly impossible to get. The other three quarters of the time, you’ll get a property, and if you collect all in a property group, you win big! The problem is that McDonald’s doesn’t distribute their properties in an even manner, instead they distribute them in such a way as to give you hope. I mean, chances are it will be medium fries (they’re 50.2% of all food items, after all), but you could always hold out for that rare Royale with Cheese (you have a 2.2 per cent chance any given time you go!). So one quarter of the time you buy anything, you’ll win something. only, and they haven’t indicated the exact distribution for Canada. The reasons these numbers may not line up 100 per cent (unfortunately) is that some of their prizes are listed for the U.S. McDonalds’ claim that one in four purchases will result in an instant win is bang on then, which is nice. The breakdown for how this looks is approximately this:Ī total of 1,303,683,256 stamps were printed. Stamps either have a property, an instant win for food, or an instant win for some sort of other fancy prize. So how this all works is that whenever you buy certain food items (like a medium fountain drink, medium coffee, Big Mac, etc), you win two game stamps. (By the way, a less fun breakdown of the stats is done in the official McDonald’s rules, so feel free to check my sources as we go along). I was all set to just read theirs contently, until I realised that they just copied and pasted their same article from the year before (hint: the prizes changed this year, dummies). Then, I was pretty disappointed to realise that Business Insider had done their own analysis.

Check out the list of rare pieces in Australia’s 2014 edition right here. We have Monopoly here, but the pieces and prizes are obviously very different. Man, was I ever excited when I saw that McDonald’s Monopoly was back this year! I had a blast looking at the Roll Up the Rim stats last year, and hoped I could do the same for Monopoly this year.ĪU Editor’s Note: This story comes from our sister site Gizmodo US, where McDonald’s Monopoly is in full swing. ![]()
