mcdonalds monopoly contest.

[davidflecha17]

there is a monopoly contest going on at mcdonalds where you can win an xbox if you get only four monopoly pieces. I had the game board but I lost it. Is anyone going to try to win an xbox?every time you order fries, chicken selects, or a large soda you get more cards and more chances to win.

:shock: :roll:

[alongx]

They do this all the time, and nobody ever wins.

[davidflecha17]

preety cool right. is anyone going to try out their luck?

[PhrostByte]

I won!

a small soft drink... :\

[Scorch]

First off, duh.

Second, the odds of winning are minute. There's a list of odds on their site, and I think only a few thousand people can win. There's only 1 boardwalk this year as opposed to last year's 4.

you can win an xbox if you get only four monopoly pieces.

You forgot to mention that you have a better chance of winning the lottery while being struck by lightning than finding all 4 correct pieces.

I remember when I used to believe that I could actually win this fucking contest about seven years ago. I had every piece on the board except for one of each color which kept me from winning any of the prizes. Man was I bummed. Stupid McDonalds.

[davidflecha17]

a few thousand people can win an xbox? that is pretty good odds. I notice that three of the four pieces are very easy to get but people hardly get the rarest piece.

Lol, you must have done a lot of analysis to figure that out.

Those Monopoly games are good scams and people love them. I went to McDonalds today and I was just hoping to get a $1 Best Buy thing, but I got 2 St. Charles places from the same cup.

Shit, is that the way it works? No wonder so many clueless mouth-breathers fall for it.

[davidflecha17]

I remember when I was 12, I had all the pieces for the 1,000,000 except for one. I must have spent 50.00 dollars on fries and soft drinks but I never got the last piece and the contest ended. This is why mcdonalds is a multi-billion dollar company.

[jimbodan]

Since when did Oriental, Vermont, and Connecticut Ave's = 4 pieces?

[zionoverfire]

Didn't they find out that people were scamming this contest for its first year or so?

So, you have clearly understood the scheme since you were 12. Why make this stupid thread discussing the possibility of winning?

[davidflecha17]

I thought it was 4 I guess it's 3 then. even better odds!!!

Yeah, now the odds are comparable to killing a great white shark while Bruce Campbell reads "The Great Gatsby" aloud to you.

sweet that means that someone in my city might win!!! :lol:

[basketkase543]

Ha, I just noticed that four people in a row quoted the same quote.

[PenguinoMF]

Even get Best Buy bucks is a joke.

$5 1 in 5,200
$10 1 in 9,750

Awesome. This means I'll only have to kill 534,590 sharks before I get to meet Bruce Campbell again. Totally worth the trouble if you ask me.

[davidflecha17]

people win the lottery all the time and that is way bigger odds than this

Thanks for that, you actually made me laugh!

It seems like people win the lottery all the time because you really only see the winners. You don't see the millions of people who spend their dollars hoping to win. Just don't let yourself get duped into spending money thinking that you're gonna win.

[PenguinoMF]

Well then good luck. Better get eat that McDonalds. $1.50 (fries) times 534,590 equals $801,885.

$801,885 all for a $150 Xbox.

Again I wish you luck.

[Ledhed]

Thanks for that, you actually made me laugh!

Just doin' what I can when I can. :wink:

[zionoverfire]

Hey someone's already posted on the board asking for a piece to this game. That didn't take long did it?
