Yes, I know McDonald's is the devil. But I'm a sucker for the Monopoly game and have been since they started it. I just thought I'd throw it out there to see if possibly any one else was playing and if maybe, just maybe, there could be some collaboration with regards to game pieces. I'm short... Boardwalk ($1,000,000) Pennsylvania Ave. ($50,000) Ventnor Ave. ($25,000) Kentucky Ave. ($10,000) Tennessee ($5,000) Virginia Ave ($2,000) Vermont Ave ($1,000) Naturally, if you have any of these pieces, I'd be willing to split it 70/30...ok, 60/40 Fine, 50/50.
I'd play this game when I was in my early teens and I would always have those 2 or 3 friends that would be like "I think I got that piece the other day. I'll check when I get home." knowing damn well you don't have the piece. The biggest thing I ever one on one of these pull tab games at restaurants was a $25 gift card to Burger King.
No.... http://askville.amazon.com/SimilarQuestions.do?req=rare+winning+McDonalds+Monopoly+pieces+2009 In other words, stop fooling yourself. 70/30 split for someone's winning game piece when they could go eat at mcdonalds and pick up the other pieces in a weeks time? rofl.
You could have actually read my entire post... Is it really such a bad idea to see if one of the thousands of members on this bbs might have one of the games pieces to split a prize? Sheesh...who pissed in your McLatte this morning?
rofl, the yield chance to get the rare pieces is astronomical, but then again, the # of people eating mcdonalds is astronomical
LOL! He is saying they are the ones who would be stupid for splitting the prize with you because they could just go to McDonald's themselves and collect the other game pieces pretty easily. What's 50% if you can keep 100%?
How old are you? I remember Coca-Cola doing a similar game when I was 8 or so where if you collected a group of a certain NFL division's helmets you won a million. So I went around to all of the constuction sites and collected all of the pull-tabs that had helmets on them. And I was short one team on every division. I went around school doing the same proposal as yours above. And that was when I found out what Donny posted. I also found out Santa Claus wasn't real when I was 5, so maybe I'm just a fast learner.
Wow, I thought the principle of the game was obvious. The pieces you have are easy to get. Everyone gets them. You're basically asking someone with a winning lottery ticket to split it with you if you drive them to the lottery office.
Old enough to think this is pretty f***ing lame... http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=4715455&postcount=1
Interesting, because everyone who was there thought it was amusing. Sorry you wasted all that money getting fat this past month only to find out you fell for something most folks figure out by the time they're 10.

Nobody, I'm actually laughing my butt off at your post I think I just crapped on your McDreams though
I just look for the instant win pieces and don't worry about collecting. I'm pretty sure I threw out a Boardwalk last night at work.
I finally hate McDonalds enough this year to not get suckered in to playing Monopoly. It was an obsession when I was younger. But yeah, I find it hilarious on craigslist people going "IF SOMEBODY HAS BOARDWALK I HAVE PARK PLACE WE CAN SPLIT THE MILLION!" They don't seem to realize there are like 40 million Park Places and 1 Boardwalk.
I thought this thread was a joke, and I found it somewhat humorous... Now that I realize it wasn't, it is frickin hilarious.
