McDonald's Monopoly 2011-->


Question Posted Wednesday October 5 2011, 2:04 am

Hi,
I'm from Tennesse, and I have every piece but of course the main ones;

I need Boardwalk, Penn(green) and a few others; if anyone has them please let me know and I will split the prize with you. I mean 500,000 dollars is alot, especially when you didn't have it in the first place!

Hi there,

My understanding is that there is only one 1 Boardwalk, while there are millions of Park Place pieces.

Basically, if you have any of the rare piece, all you would need to do, if you didn't already have it, would be spend a few dollars on food and your missing McDonald's monopoly piece would appear. :-)

Nobody but the severely mentally handicapped would let you talk them into partnering up on a rare piece. Even if you did find someone and talk them into it somehow, it is probably illegal on top of being immoral.

Nevertheless... every year someone posts this here. ;-)

There are many thousands of people who are trying to find one person who is such an idiot that they don't get the math in this game, and can be conned into splitting their prize.

Your odds of finding a victim to take advantage of are pretty small, even without the many thousands of other people out there trying the same annual McDonald's Monopoly scam.

If you didn't realize what you were doing, that is fine, but you should know that this question makes you look like you are trying to find some poor mathematically challenged soul to take advantage of.

If you did realize that you were running a scam that has been going on since the 80s, then here is the proof that you aren't alone:

... thousands and thousands of forum posts... just like your own. ;-)

I am curious, though... did you set out to scam someone, or did you not understand the math behind the piece distribution?
