Has anyone ever won anything decent on the McDonald's Monopoly promotion?

The most I've ever won before this year is an apple pie. This year I've won a cheesy bacon flatbread!

I remember years ago (before promotion laws changes) that you won cash if you collected a property set.

Has anyone here ever won one of the big prizes? Car, holiday etc?

You should watch McMillions, its all about how this game was a massive scam back in the day. I'm sure it is better regulated now though.

I won a Coca-Cola or a milkshake. I then lost it

My son won the coke zero or milkshake prize.

Except when he went to redeem it they had run out of coke zero and the milkshake machine was broken. How very fucking convenient.

Being autistic he just meekly accepted and left rather than tell them how fucking convenient (and demand an alternative).

Anyway, when they did the Trivial Pursuit challenge back in the early 90s a kid in our year won a 14" TV.

We've mostly won the prizes that are worse than food prizes. Like 3 months subscription to a magazine that you'd then have to remember to cancel or a Tui voucher you can definitely get the same offer as without having to go to McDonald's.

I've won both of those. You can probably get a 3 month free trial to Readly anywhere (or the same thing free forever via the library) and the Tui voucher is only worth it if you're currently looking at booking with them. I suspect the 10% off at Buyagift is probably equally shite.

I have had an apple pie, 6 chicken nuggets and couple of small fries this year (well DP has, he goes about twice a week but CBA scanning/collecting the tokens so he just gives them all to me).

In the past, the best prize I've ever had was 3 months free Now TV.

I don't doubt that the big prizes exist but there's only a handful of them and millions of people a day eat at McDonalds so it's no surprising that most people have never known anyone who's won them.

not me, im happy if i win an extra big mac etc

Wineocloc · 10/10/2023 22:02

I’ve won some food before likes fries and an ice cream. I’m happiest when that happens

So far we have won:

2 x cheesy bacon flatbreads
1 x cheeseburger
20% of AO.com
Hash Brown
2 x medium soft drink

We don’t go that often either:

@Underminer 20% off AO.com is a brilliant prize!! Did you buy anything? I'd love that as need a new washing machine. But I just keep winning free apple pies instead 😆

My cousin won a trip to Disneyland a couple of years back.

ShadowPuppets · 11/10/2023 16:53

I’m fairly rare at McDonald’s (before anyone starts, it’s just because pizza is my junk of choice - if domino’s did this I’d be quids in!) but last week we had an early drive and went through a drive through for breakfast. Off the back of 4 breakfast meals we got a free McMuffin and a free hash brown! I’ve stashed them in the car for the next time we’re off to the in laws - will mean we only have to pay for 3 breakfasts next time so I’m happy 😁

I swear I’ve never heard of anyone winning big prizes on any of the major competitions, or the lottery or the ITV competitions or the premium bonds. Either my friends and family are very unlucky or it’s a giant swizz 😂 but I don’t know anyone who’s ever done jury service either and I don’t consider that a swizz… so who knows

OhhhhhhhhBiscuits · 11/10/2023 16:54

My eldest daughter won a £200 experience day voucher a few years ago.

DragonFly98 · 11/10/2023 16:55

Just a Bluetooth speaker.

Favouritefruits · 11/10/2023 16:57

We’ve won socks and a bit of free food, nothing of value, my kids are convinced we will win every year 😂

Beezknees · 11/10/2023 17:08

No and every year I get suckered in despite never winning anything good. I go to McDonald's quite often (yes, I know it's SO terrible, don't need a lecture) this year I've won 2 free drinks, a free hash brown, free fries, a month's subscription to Lionsgate, 20% off footasylum and fridge magnets with a family photo on them?? Barf.

BoohooWoohoo · 11/10/2023 17:09

I saw a video on social media where someone took delivery of a Big Mac beanbag.

OldTinHat · 11/10/2023 17:10

I'm excitedly clutching my free big mac/mcchicken sandwich ticket 😆

BoohooWoohoo · 11/10/2023 17:12

I have 2 McMuffins, a McFlurry and a Coke Zero saved on my app but also won the £75 off a £750 holiday twice which is of no use to me and the fridge magnets.

xogossipgirlxo · 11/10/2023 20:55

Nope! Only food or vouchers. I need my 100k.

JollyJolene · 11/10/2023 20:59

About 30 years ago I won a VCR from a McDonalds game. I think it was a football related scratchcard.

itsmyp4rty · 11/10/2023 21:05

I read (but don't know if it's true) that for the really big prizes you have to have the receipts for all the meals you bought to prove that you collected the monopoly streets and didn't just swap with people - and they go back and cross check them all.

And that is why no one ever wins the big prizes.

Gingerkittykat · 12/10/2023 00:00

My DD is obsessed with McDonalds monopoly and buys loads of stuff to get stickers. She won a £30 voucher for a clothing shop a couple of years ago but apart from that has only won food prizes.

PyongyangKipperbang · 12/10/2023 01:11

WOn a big mac/chicken sandwich voucher but I cant find it.

About 7 years ago I won a car in a prize draw that I was convinced was a swizz, to the point that when they rang me I said to the woman "Oh har har DSIS! Nice try!" She had to ring back twice and email me before I would believe her!

There is only 3 mayfair tickets out there.

gotomomo · 23/09/2025 18:05

Big Mac? Actually won £50 years ago think it was the angel Islington set but might have been pall mall etc. just can’t remember

lossey · 24/09/2025 02:41

u bet u, a Mayfair, I have it! I have not told anybody. I most likely I will go in & redeem that and collect the prize from coupon. enough said, so I had hoped so?
