An introduction

The McDonald’s Monopoly Toss Game is based on the popular Monopoly board game invented in the early 20th century by Charles Darrow. The purpose of the McDonald’s Monopoly game is to attract customers to its national chain of fast food restaurants.

How to play

To play the game, simply collect stamps on the back of packages at McDonald’s. If the piece is an “instant win” piece, you can cash out the prize instantly. If it is a “Collect and Win” prize, then you must match the stamp to the corresponding property on the Monopoly game board. To get a game board, you can visit any McDonald’s restaurant.

It used to be that Park Place and Boardwalk were the grand prix, however it has been changed to all four railways this year.

He gave them to his family and friends to claim the prize since he couldn’t be an employee of Simon Marketing and all. They would then split the share of there, which was believed to be around $13 million. The FBI was tipped off by one of the people involved.
