The peel-to-play promotion gave McDonald's customers the chance to win a prize every time they bought Surprize Fries between May 29 and July 2.
Around 20million prizes were up for grabs when the competition launched, but on June 24, just 2.2million had been redeemed.
This means there could be some 17.8million prizes waiting to be cashed in.
Customers had a chance to win a prize every time they bought a portion of medium or large fries, all of which had a sticker on the back.

When peeled back, one-in-three stickers revealed an instant prize which can be redeemed in restaurants until the end of today.
Prizes ranged from free menu items including Big Macs, apple pies and milkshakes, to £200 in cash.
Two-in-three stickers featured a code to enter into the McDonald's app.
These codes then revealed prizes as well as rewards points, which could be used to get money off future meals.

EYES ON THE PRIZE
McDonald's regularly offers customers the chance to snap up prizes through promotions, including its Monopoly and Winning Sips games.
McDonald's Monopoly launched in 2005 and sees customers collect game pieces when they buy specific products.
These pieces can then be redeemed for prizes or rewards points.
Winnings Sips is more similar to the new Surprize Fries game, with fans able to peel stickers off medium or large soft drinks which can be redeemed for prizes.
Last week, McDonald's launched its latest menu shakeup including a brand new burger.
The fast food giant is adding a total of eight new items to its main offering, including returning favourites like mozzarella bites and chicken selects.
The Sun tried out all eight new items and we delivered our verdict.
