McDonald’s reveals all the Monopoly prizes won so far and those still up for grabs – including £100k cash and holidays | The Sun
McDonald's has revealed all the Monopoly prizes that have been claimed so far, including two lucky winners of the top £100,000 cash grabs.
The fast food chain disclosed to the Sun that 25,394,984 prizes have already been given away since the game restarted on September 6.
Monopoly usually lasts for around six weeks, and this year it's set to end on October 17.
To play, fans must collect stickers from their food packaging that represent pieces from the classic game.
Among the top prizes this year are £100,000 in cash for five winners, TUI holidays worth £2,000 and "gold cards", which give you a free medium Maccies meal every week for a year.
There are then thousands of other smaller prizes such as coupons for free food items and gift vouchers for online stores.

McDonalds has introduced a new twist to the Monopoly game this year.
Customers can now trade in their peels for another more frequently found property, or swap it for an entry into the £100k prize draw.
