What is McDonald's annual Monopoly sweepstake?

It is time to collect stickers to bag some exciting prizes at McDonald's.

McDonald's Monopoly began on March 21, 2018, at 10.30am.

On top of free food, there are also holidays to Florida, a Mini Cooper car, Xbox gaming consoles and even £100,000 cash to be won by collecting the corresponding property sets.

Maccies fans will get one online game sticker every time they buy an item with stickers on.

There are two cash prizes to be won every minute by whoever enters the code at precisely the right second - and that's when you can boost your chances of winning.

How can you maximise your chance of winning £100,000 cash prize?

According to 's Coupon Kid, Jordon Cox, perfect timing will increase your chances to win the top prizes.

To make the odds of winning easier, Jordon advises fast-food lovers to avoid entering their codes at peak times.

That's because if you enter your codes during lunch hour, there will be a lot of other people doing it at the same time.

This means there’s more chance of losing out to someone else by a split second.
