McDonald’s Monopoly 2025 – tips to win big!

McDonald’s Monopoly 2025 – here’s everything you need to know to win big. The sticker collecting game has prizes including £100k cash, a holiday, free food and more!

You may just enjoy getting a free McFlurry after your meal, but there are millions of bigger prizes up for grabs, and you can cash in.

Take a look at how you can maximise your chances of winning a big prize.

When is McDonald’s Monopoly 2025?

McDonald’s Monopoly launches on Wednesday, 10 September 2025.

And, this year, with peeling and scanning, there’s a 1 in 4 chance to win instantly on the pack, with over £2 million worth of cash prizes to be won!

How to play McDonald’s Monopoly

With most items of food you buy, you have a little McDonald’s Monopoly sticker or game piece.

Each one is based on the classic Hasbro board game, and you need to collect each set.

You can collect the game pieces each time you eat or drink, save them up and you can swap them for free McDonald’s food or big prizes!

You can use the McDonald’s app to scan or enter your property to bank it (and keep it safe).

DO NOT THROW AWAY THE PIECES

You will need the peeled sticker to redeem your prize. So, although you can store their details in the app, keep the pieces somewhere safe too.

However, this is where things change slightly for 2025.

The Digital Peel from previous years is gone, and it’s been replaced with a Special Edition World.

After scanning the code on the Property game piece, press the GO button in-app and you’ll see Grimace race around a 3D gameboard.

Different things happen, depending on where you land:

• Property Square x26: you will be awarded a Property Card.
• Chance Card x2: you can win cash, merch, prizes, and our iconic Gold Card.
• Community Chest x1: you will win MyMcDonald’s Rewards Points.
• Passing Go x1: you will be awarded a £200 (!) cash prize.

What are the prizes?

There are loads of different things you can win. Each of the stickers can get you different prizes:

Instant win prizes

With some Monopoly stickers, you can get an instant win prize.

The sticker will say what you’ve won, which could be free McDonald’s food to get straight away in the restaurants, like a McFlurry or Apple Pies (which is what I’ve usually won).

There are also loads of other prizes like shopping vouchers, £2,000 to spend on a holiday, cash, and you can even get a prize from the main properties set.

Collect to win – property prizes

I think, deep down, it’s what everyone wants to get – and get a whole set in one meal – we can but dream!

With a property game piece, you get a street or station. You then need to collect a whole set on the McDonald’s Monopoly play board to win the prize.

So, depending on the set, you will either need to collect two, three or four different properties.

The big prizes everyone wants are £100k in cash, a £2k holiday voucher, Merlin pass for Four, LG TV and more.

Rare McDonald’s Monopoly

Each group of property pieces has one that’s much rarer than the others.

Don’t give up hope!

Rare stickers

There are a fair few rare Mcdonalds’s Monopoly pieces that you MUST keep if you find one. The chances of getting one of the other colours are higher, so you will likely win.

How to increase your chances of winning

Eating more burgers might be one way to score more stickers, but it’ll cost you ££ and you’ll gain lbs!

One of the better ways to go about it is to be more selective with how you eat.

Eat carefully

Your usual might be a Big Mac value meal, but you won’t be getting the best sticker value. In fact, you’re not going to get many at all!

You don’t get sticker with some items, so you’ll miss out.

Menu items with game pieces

Menu items	Number of stickers
Chicken & Bacon Salad or Chicken Salad	3
Chicken Selects® 3 or 5 Pieces	3
McPlant™
Chicken Legend® (mayo, BBQ or Spicy)	3
Big Tasty® with or without Bacon	3
Any Big Flavour Wrap	3
Spicy Chicken McNuggets® (6 or 9 Pieces) or Spicy Chicken McNuggets® Sharebox®
Medium or Large Carbonated Soft Drink	3
Any item from the McCafé® Iced range	3
Medium or Large Fries	2
Mozzarella Dippers or sharebox	2
Mars® or Twix® McFlurry®	2
Shaker Side Salad (with medium or large meal)	3
Vegetable Bag (with medium or large meal)	3
Fruit Bag (with medium or large meal)	3

Fries are considered an unhealthier option, so have been demoted to 2 stickers from 2019.

To get more, the best thing you can do is switch out the fries for a side salad.

The famous Big Mac or nuggets don’t come with any stickers either. So, it’s best to switch over to perhaps a Big Tasty or the Chicken Selects while it’s running.

Pick your online game times carefully

As I mentioned above, there are two winning moments a minute for online games.

This can also mean you’ve got more chance of losing at certain times during the Monopoly promotion.

Don’t run to a computer after lunch and pop the code in – everyone does that. Hold back.

Try and enter the code first thing in the morning, or even in the middle of the night, as you will have less competition with others.

You can also only enter 24 times per day for the online game.

Wombling

You may have already done this with receipts for loyalty apps…I’m not sure how thrifty you are? If you see litter on the ground (not in the bin as it’s actually considered theft), you can use the receipt to get extra loyalty perks.

With McDonald’s usually, you can get the free coffee stickers (although they are being phased out now for app only collection).

During McDonald’s Monopoly, you could happen to find a number of extra stickers from a customer who isn’t collecting the game pieces.

Staff may not be too happy; some may not care.

When did McDonalds Monopoly start?

The fast food chain started the sticker collecting phenomenon back in 1987 in America.

It’s an annual McDonald’s Monopoly promotion and giveaway which runs from March until the end of April or the beginning of May each year with huge instant prizes.

Does anyone ever actually win McDonald’s Monopoly prizes?

McDonald’s has given away millions of prizes to customers as part of the game, including instant win grub, shopping vouchers, weekend breaks, technology, cars and cash prizes.

In 2018 alone, 8,006,175 prizes were claimed, including 6 Mini Coopers, three £100,000 cash prizes, two £25k prizes and a Universal Holiday.
