I won a free hamburger, free drink and free fries. I went to redeem all 3 today because I forgot my lunch at home and they said that you can only do 1 at a time. What a rip!
The last prize piece you know is in another state.

I asked that and she said no.
I don't know what the big deal is.

I'm still trying to find Boardwalk. Year after year I hope that I'm going to find it...but nope, never. Maybe this year will be my lucky year

Wouldn't it be great if one year Mcdonald's made Park Place the winning piece and Boardwalk the common. I could see people pulling of Boardwalk and having a cow thinking, "now I just have to get the easy piece."

To elaborate on how big a scam this is. When I was much younger and employed by McD's, some friends of mine absconded 3 cases of hashbrown wraps. All they won was free food. It is next to impossible to win. In case you were wondering, that's about 6,000 game pieces.

Something similar here. (I'm not saying I personally was a part to reaping these rewards but...) In highschool many friends worked at McDs (I myself did not) and sometimes they were known to throw in many many many extra empty hashbrown and french fry containers in hopes someone would win. Food was the only prize I ever got...I mean the only prize those dishonest people that took part in this ever got

I think it sucks that the only food the game pieces are on now, are the expensive (for McD's) items.

Can’t you just see the determined customer coming in to claim his/her prize? The McD’s customer who just wouldn’t give up until they won the car or $1 Million... all 735 lbs of them!

Next there will be civil cases against McDonalds because some idiot had a heart attack from eating three truck loads of fries trying to win the car.

"It's not my fault! They enticed me with that shiney new car!"

Forget the pieces, what about the Best Buy bucks? They add up pretty quickly now that you can win $3 pieces!

BTW, I have every piece you can have w/o winning anything...for the 3rd year in a row!

if you read the fine print with the best buy bucks, you can't use them all at the same time for the normal things...

Right, you can only use up to $3 on a CD or DVD....

When I was in college we would get a stack of the school newspapers delivered to my fraternity. I always was the one who brought them inside in the morning (because I would spend the night at my girlfriends)...

Well, for a promotion there were 2 free monopoly game pieces in every newspaper. Since I brought all the newspapers in, I took every game piece. I only won free food, but I had enough to get breakfast before class, and lunch on the way home for 2 weeks!
