McDonald’s Monopoly 2024 updates: Menu items with Monopoly stickers revealed

What time does McDonald’s stop serving breakfast?

McDonald’s serves breakfast until 11am at all of its restaurants in the UK.

You can check out the breakfast menu on their site, which includes the McMuffin range, pancakes and a cheesy bacon flatbread.

And you don’t have to always visit dine-in branches to enjoy a McDonald’s breakfast – you could get a home delivery through Just Eat, Uber Eats, Deliveroo or you could visit a drive-thru.

You can also download the My McDonald’s app onto a smartphone and order food for delivery or pick-up at one of its restaurants directly with the chain.

Can I play if I buy breakfast items?

Unfortunately, Monopoly stickers are not available on Breakfast menu items.

However, you can still get a chance to play if you buy a soft drink or any item from the McCafe Iced range with your breakfast.

What are the most popular McFlurry flavours around the world?

The most popular McFlurry flavours around the world are between the Terry’s Chocolate Orange (UK), Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup (US) and M&M and Twix around Europe.

You might not have access to all flavours though, depending on where you are, so check your local menu first before you have your heart set.

Some exotic flavours like Pineapple Oreo is popular in Colombia, while Canada love the Creme Egg McFlurry.

Unfortunately, the UK doesn’t sell Bubblegum Squash, a favourite flavour in Australia.

But you can always count on Smarties and Oreo for being a fan favourite in most places.

How does McDonald’s Monopoly work?

The game works similarly to traditional Monopoly.

Customers collect game pieces when they buy qualifying McDonald’s products, such as colour co-ordinated road names or train stations.

You’ll be able to find them as stickers which appear on the packaging of your food.

Each menu item has the chance of giving you a different prize.

These range from food, to massive cash prizes.

Can you still get McDonald’s Monopoly boards?

Mcdonald’s first started the game in 2005 and in order to play the customers would need to stick their prizes onto the board.

In previous years the fast food chain has given away free boards to customers who wanted to play McDonald’s monopoly.

However, they stopped this in 2021 and made it possible for customers to play along online.

Less people relied on using the boards and moved to online as it made it easier to cash in on some instant wins.

To claim your food or drink items on the instant win tickets you would have to keep them separate and bring them to the restaurant with you in order to get your prize.

"I won a £30k Mini on McDonald's Monopoly"

Kiran, 36 from Reading, Berks, won a Mini Cooper SE on the popular game in 2022.

After spending £1.39 on medium fries for her two-year-old son Nihal back in September, Kiran scanned her winning Bond Street game piece into the McDonald's app.

Having already got the Regent Street and Oxford Street stickers from previous Maccies visits, Bond Street completed the winning set.

She initially thought it must have been a toy car, until she Googled Monopoly prizes and saw it was in fact a real Mini.

How does McDonald’s drive-thru work?

McDonald’s drive-thru option is available as long as the restaurant is open, just drive into the right lane and place your order to go.

Some are open 24 hours but this can vary between locations, with some closing at 10pm or 11pm.

Customers recently discovered how McDonald's staff know which order belongs to which person at the drive through.

McDonald's told Fabulous: "Drive-Thru cameras capture images at the time orders are placed, however, this is not permanently saved onto any device.

"Instead, the image is displayed on the cashier’s till in the drive-thru window and is then automatically deleted within 30 minutes of the sale being completed.

"The image is captured to ensure that the completed food and beverage order is passed to the same person who placed the order."

10m McDonald’s Monopoly prizes claimed in 2022

77 million peelies were peeled in 2022, and 10 million prizes were claimed — compared to 6 million in 2021.

In 2022, Winford Armstrong, a musician from Northampton, couldn’t believe his luck when he won one of the top prizes — a £2,000 TUI Holiday.

Winford, his partner and their two children enjoyed a trip to Turkey all by playing and winning the McDonald’s Monopoly game.

Fun facts about McDonald's

THE Happy Meal — food and a toy in a box — was launched for kids in 1986. Now McDonald’s is the world’s largest distributor of toys.

QUEEN Elizabeth II owned a McDonald’s drive-thru in Slough, Berks, a few miles from Windsor, because one of the Crown Estate’s royal acquisitions in 2008 was the Bath Road Shopping Park.

The new menu item that has never been tasted before is a Twix Latte.

The fast-food chain is also bringing back several fan favourites, including Mozzarella Dippers and the popular Philly Cheese Stack burger.

At least two players took home £100,000 cash prize last year.

Mr Monopoly Bonus Reward

The fast food giant has introduced the Mr. Monopoly Bonus Reward, which will offer customers the chance to earn MyMcDonald’s Rewards points redeemable towards food items.

Whenever you collect 30 physical game pieces and enter their property codes into the app, you will be awarded 1,500 MyMcDonald’s Rewards points.

Double your chances of winning

Sign up to the McDonald's Rewards Scheme to claim a free bonus peel which will be sent to your email.

You can also "double peel" every time you earn yourself a property in the game.

Once you've purchased an item and peeled a sticker, you need to head to the McDonald's app and bank a property by scanning the sticker.

This will provide you with an extra virtual sticker - hence the "double peel".

Without having to buy any extra food or drink at McDonald's you can bank another free property or earn yourself an instant win.

Try wombling to get your hands on more stickers

Some people won't bother to peel off the stickers and play the Monopoly game.

If you spot empty packets or cups on tables, it's worth checking to see if there is a tile you can use.

This practice is known as "wombling", though it's not always approved by companies, but millions of people do it across the country.

How can I get a free McDonald's meal for a year?

This year's Monopoly game also includes 2,000 "McDonald's Gold Cards".

If you win one, you can get a free Maccies meal a week for a whole year. That is 52 meals in total.

The offer consists of a free main, side and drink in a regular size and can be redeemed through the app.

Play at quiet times to increase your chances

Game pieces come with a code to play games on the app, but you might want to avoid lunch and dinner time.

There are two cash prizes up for grabs per minute and non-cash prizes are "allocated across the hours in that day at random subject to due weighting to take account of anticipated rates of game-play at different times of the day" according to the rules.

In other words, the more people playing the less chance there is to win, so play at less busy times. 

What happens if you get both Mayfair and Park Lane?

If both Mayfair and Park Lane are collected, you’re entitled to £100,000 in cash.

However, McDonald’s has warned that restaurant managers can limit the number of stickers per order if they suspect you’re wasting food just to play.

You can find your nearest McDonald’s restaurant using the chain’s 

How to boost your chances of winning?

To increase your chances of winning, make sure you order items that have the most amount of game pieces.

Some food and drinks have up to three game pieces, while others have two.

For instance, fries come with only two game pieces in a meal.

However, the sides of salad, veg or fruit bag can give you three pieces.

What rare pieces should you look out for?

• Strand (Red sticker) - Merlin Annual Pass for Four - 235 prizes
• Bow Street (Orange sticker) - JBL Audio Bundle - 205 prizes

How to win a getaway worth £2,000 with Jet2?

As part of the game, McDonald's is also giving away a £2,000 holiday with Jet 2.

You could win this if you come across a yellow Leicester Square sticker.

There are only 80 of these stickers in existence, so it could be worthwhile to hang onto one.

Five of these pieces will be in the app-based game, and the remaining 75 will be hidden on the menu items of the massive fast-food chain.

McDonald's is bringing back fan favourite items

Mozzarella Dippers and the popular Philly Cheese Stack burger have made a comeback on McDonald's menu this autumn.
