Break out the fries and the game pieces — McDonald’s is officially bringing back its Monopoly game next week for the first time in 10 years. Yep, the peel-and-win stickers are back, but let’s be real: you’re probably going to score a small fry and call it a day. 😅
If you watched the HBO docuseries McMillions, you already know the backstory — the game was rigged back in the ’90s and early 2000s (not by McDonald’s, but by someone inside the company that printed the pieces). Since then, it’s been “legit,” but the odds are still… let’s say comical.
Here’s the breakdown:
- 1 in 25 chance of winning a small fry 🍟. (For perspective, the Cleveland Guardians have better odds of winning the World Series this year ⚾.)
- Roughly 1 in 5 chance of winning some food item, like a cone 🍦, coffee ☕, or soft drink 🥤.
- Want those two cookies or a McFlurry? Odds stretch to nearly 1 in 98.
And then there are the big-ticket prizes — if you’re feeling lucky:
- 1 in 59 million: A turntable bundle 🎶
- 1 in 153 million: A 77-inch Samsung TV 📺
- 1 in 6 billion: A Winnebago RV 🚌
- 1 in 13 billion: A Jeep Grand Cherokee 🚙
- 1 in 60 billion: A dream vacation for four to Paris, London, Tokyo, Barcelona, or Maui 🌍
(For context: your odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are only 1 in 292 million. So… maybe stick to the lottery? 💸)
This year, you’ll need the McDonald’s app to play, even with physical stickers. The game officially launches next Monday and will run for four weeks.
