When did McDonald’s Monopoly 2019 end and what were the prizes?
The Golden Arches gave away millions of prizes - from apple pies to Mini Coopers and holidays
McDonald's Monopoly 2019 has ended.
The fast food giant gave away millions of prizes, ranging from apple pies to cars and holidays.
When did McDonald's Monopoly 2019 end?
The competition kicked off in March and came to an end on April 30.
This year's McDonald's Monopoly giveaway started on March 20, a spokesperson for McDonald's told The Sun.
Food won't be served in packaging with the tiles on them after the deadline and you'll need to make sure you've claimed your prizes before midnight.
You won't be able to redeem the vouchers after the deadline has passed.
This year is the 14th consecutive year of the popular game.
How did the giveaway work?
Every time you buy a qualifying McDonald’s product, there will be game pieces on the packet that represent tiles on the classic version of Monopoly.
You can add these tiles onto a board, and collect them to win prizes.
Some game pieces will be instant prizes, such as a free drink or a burger, and there will also be an online game piece, which can be redeemed for an online voucher or prize.
But the main game pieces to look out for will be part of a traditional double or triple set, where the prizes are much bigger.
But it also means they're harder to come by - these are the rare pieces that you need to look out for to boost your chances of winning.
Whether you get a double or triple game piece depends on what you order.
For example, a Big Tasty box comes with three stickers while a side of fries will get you just two.
This year, McNuggets and Big Macs don't come with any stickers on them at all, but a side salad will earn you triple points.
Make sure you keep your tokens in a safe place, as some fans reckon they're harder to keep hold of after McDonald's ditched the sticky backs.
If you manage to get your hands on a complete set of properties, such as all the reds, you are eligible for a big prize.
What were the McDonald's Monopoly 2019 prizes?
In 2018, as part of the "instant wins", there were over 50,000,000 food and drink prizes to be won across the UK.
But disappointingly, Maccies slashed the number of prizes in 2019 making it even harder to win big.
The number of holidays on offer was reduced from 200 to 20, and the number of games consoles from 500 to 400.
Here are the top prizes that customers can get their hands on this year with the right tiles:
- Dark Blue set – £100k in cash, four available
- Green set – a Mini Cooper, 20 available
- Yellow set - £2,000 holiday spending money, 50 available
- Red set - PS4 Pro games console, 650 available
- Train set - Any mobile phone with a one-year Sky contract, 400 available
- Light Blue - £50 Boohoo.com fashion voucher, 18,000 available
- Brown set - Medium extra value meal, 2,000,000 available
