McDonald’s Monopoly 2024: Martin Lewis' tips to boost your odds as UK menu game returns - when does it start?

• McDonald’s Monopoly promotion has returned in the UK as of 4 September

• The game allows customers to collect game pieces from food and drink items to win prizes

• Prizes range from instant wins like free food to larger rewards such as cash or vouchers

• Martin Lewis’ Money Saving Expert team have shared expert tips on how to boost your chances

Today (4 September) marks the long awaited return of McDonald’s “Monopoly” promotion, and Martin Lewis’ Money Saving Expert (MSE) team have shared their tips on how to “McMax” your savings - and potentially win big.

Modelled after the classic board game, McDonald’s Monopoly allows customers to collect game pieces attached to certain food and drink items, giving them the chance to win prizes.

These Monopoly game pieces come in the form of stickers that can be peeled from the packaging, and each represents a property on the Monopoly board (e.g., Mayfair, Park Lane, etc.). The goal is to collect sets of properties in the same colour group.

To win bigger prizes, you need to collect a complete set of property stickers (all the properties of one colour). For example, collecting Mayfair and Park Lane could win you a large cash prize.

But not all pieces are property stickers, and some may instantly reward you with a prize, like a free food item or a voucher.

If you get an instant win sticker, you can redeem it immediately for the specified prize, which might range from a free McDonald's menu item to bigger rewards like shopping vouchers or electronics.

It sounds straightforward enough, and with a large luck component, the more your order from McDonald’s, the more you’re likely to come across the all important game pieces you need.
