Has anyone ever won
Macdonalds Monopoly yet?

Surely the odds are stacked in our favour that at least one B3TA'n would Know someone who has won, considering the amount of prizes on offer.

Or is it just one big con to get fat... wait.. what a lovely tie in to last weeks Photocomp?!

I mean real prizes
like phones or Ipods etc

what you said is like winning a pound on a scratch card. you basically just get another go - in which you will just end up loosing.

I work in McDonalds so i know i'm biased but.
I know someone personally to win a holiday 3 years ago.
I witnessed a customer win an XBOX360 last year.
This year, I witnessed a teenager win an ipod.

Most of the prizes go unclaimed due to people not bothering with the collect to win. I clean tables and more often than not, people will peel off the stickers, see that they haven't won an instant win prize and just leave it on the tray. Example: This year the ipod prizes are denoted by Whitechapel and Old Kent Road. There's millions of Whitechapels, but only 40,000 Old Kent Roads. As a result, I have 2 Old Kent Roads, recovered from trays, worth one iPod each. One each for my daughters. Another colleague has recovered Coventry Street and won a weekend break. (He brought his on a McFlurry). We just have to work out how to claim them now as we're staff members and under section 1.1.i of the T's and C's, we're not allowed. Shit-bust!

A lot of the staff play in this manner, though I don't know anyone who has denied a member of the public a chance of winning fair and square, so nobody will peel a ticket off a fry box before it's gone out to a customer. Food prizes are generally given to customers who are nice if we happen to find them left on a tray, though that's only because I can't go in and claim 8 big macs from my co-workers!

So to re-cap, the prizes are real. The chances of winning are real, but you need to play the game properly. I reckon that about 10% of the stickers are thrown in the bin unchecked and about 70% of the streets are chucked after being disregarded. (my estimates not the company's data)

Word on the grapevine is that neither of the houses last year were claimed; just thrown away!

Back sometime in the 90's I had a university friend who was part-time manager of a Maccy D's in the city. He drove up to my house one evening with a number of large cardboard boxes which contained literally 1000's of Mcdonalds scratch cards.

A team of us (fueled partly by a couple of large boxes of cinnamon donuts) spent the best part of a weekend going through the entire shipment of cards with nothing bigger than a big mac being won.

SWIZZ!!! Although for the next months we did have a handy reserve food supply. ;)
