[quote name='kaji7p56'][quote name='craven_fiend']good luck getting a decent prize from McDonalds. My thought has always been that the winning pieces are thrown away by people that could careless about the whole monopoly thing. just my 2 cents[/quote]
I know this may make me look like a total dumb
, but I actually threw one of the rare ones away.
I used to work at McDonald's when I was 16. One day, I had to sweep the trash in the lobby and I remember there was a lot of Monopoly pieces in there. I saw that it had Boardwalk or Parkplace (I don't remember). I mistook it for the common one. I didn't pay any attention to it at the time.
I later found many of the common ones on other days. It didn't hit me until later when I had shitloads of the common ones. I was like "Didn't I see the rare one somewhere?"
Let me tell you, I was DEVASTATED. It was too late to get it back because it was a few days later and the pick up the trash every day.
I think it was a large cash prize or a car. I know I could not have redeemed it because I worked there, but I would probably given it to a friend and cut him in or something.
Oh well, that is life I guess. I was a dumb kid.
