Hey all, I saw this on another forum, and they were using it to help each other out with the game. I've recently became addicted to it, but I HATE McDonalds food. I was wondering if there was anyone else who played and might have Kentucky Ave?? I have the other two, and will go 50/50 in with you if you want. I found a list of rare pieces also if anyone is interested tongue.gif.

I remember back in Middle School I used to dig in trash cans to find Monopoly pieces. I was trying to find the last Million dollar sticker.. dangit.

you do realize its a ploy just to get you in the door. for example, lets use all the spaces that use 3 Ave's for the color. they make millions of 2 of them and just like 10 of the other. finding that third is damn near impossible. its just a marketing ploy... and McDonald's has done one of the best jobs ever in terms of getting people in the door with that promotion.

you know how many times i used to large size a meal JUST for the extra monopoly pieces.

what i usually do when i go there during monopoly is hope for the free food options and just throw away the game pieces. fing02.gif

^^ lol true.. they definately are making tons of money off of it i'm sure. i figure i'll shoot low though. instead of trying to be the one out of the maybe 14 billion or whatever the odds are of winning the million dollar prize or even the five million dollar prize now, i'd shoot for a lower, more realistic goal of the 5000 dollar prize. here's the document i found that lists the rare pieces and whatnot:

call me stupid, but i even checked ebay, lol. there are people trying to sell this exact list above ^ for $1.25.. there's people that will buy it, too. i'm honestly half tempted to set up shop in my local mcdonalds and just hit up the people that don't want their pieces and take 'em from them. it would make for a good story if i won one of the major prizes just by bumming unused tickets off of people, rather than actually buying the sh!t-tastic mcdonalds lmao.gif

When I was a Manager up in Maine a customer won a jeep cherokee from my store and another won a shopping spree. They got their names in the local paper and we got free advertising wink1.gif
